Atlanta, GA and Portland, OR, USA, Nov. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IHG has recently launched a TrueTour™ ‘Test Drive,’ bringing TrueTour to their Company Managed portfolio in the Americas. This partnership could affect dozens of IHG hotels in North America. With this move, IHG joins with other hotels groups, leading the charge in the standardization of immersive sales and marketing tools.
As a global leader in hospitality excellence, IHG continues to bring value to their customers in new and exciting ways. Introducing the TrueTour platform across their Company Managed and Luxury portfolio will amplify the ability to create an emotional connection with their customers and provide enhanced access to the property experience from anywhere in the world.
With the TrueTour Test Drive Program, every property who comes on board will receive ongoing immersive 360°/3D content creation; hands-on, start-to-finish support across their sales teams; website, email and proposal integration; and immersive content syndication to third-party platforms such as Google and TripAdvisor.
“A small group of InterContinental properties utilized Visiting Media’s TrueTour tool in 2018 and 2019 and experienced very positive results," says Carey Hardy, Senior Manager, Channels & Loyalty Activation, CMH & Luxury, InterContinental Hotels Group. "We’re excited to present this opportunity to other IHG properties under Visiting Media’s TrueTour Test Drive program. Using this experiential technology we will reach customers in a new and exciting way and continue to differentiate our hotel experiences from competitors.”
Ben Powers, VP of Sales, Hotel & Resort Division for Visiting Media, expresses why this alliance is so powerful for IHG properties who come on board. “IHG’s Company Managed and Luxury Division encompasses the peak of IHG’s luxury brands. Bringing together a number of impressive brands under the IHG portfolio, including InterContinental, Kimpton, Regent Hotels & Resorts and others, syndicating these properties’ sales and marketing content into one central hub will elevate global sales power and create a new type of sales experience not yet seen in the hospitality marketplace.”
The future looks bright with IHG and Visiting Media as TrueTour takes their luxury sales and marketing to the next level.
