Crowne Plaza’s Bring Your Bestie Promotion

On your next round of family travel, Crowne Plaza by IHG says “bring your bestie!” The hotel brand launched its new promotion in response to evolving travel trends. The brand’s Leading the Charge in Blended Travel’s white paper finds the rise of hybrid working made way for a new trend of inviting friends and loved ones to join business trips. In a survey of more than 12,000 people, 74 percent of U.S. travelers said they would invite a friend or family member on a work trip, with Gen Z and millennials most likely to do so.

“Today’s professionals are embracing blended travel and the perks it offers. Bringing a plus one on a work trip was once kept under the radar, but times have changed,” said Ginger Taggart, vice president of Brand Management – Global Premium Brands, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Connectivity is at the heart of the Crowne Plaza brand, guiding how we deliver service and spaces across our hotels. The Bring Your Bestie offer delivers upon guests’ needs for shared experiences and meaningful relationships.”
