SLH Club membership sees strong growth
Luxury is back and travellers are spending big; Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) has enjoyed a continuation of the brand’s outstanding success in 2011 over the first quarter of 2012 with business up by almost 20%.Following an outstanding 20th anniversary year in 2011, SLH has seen exciting new properties from around the globe join the portfolio, a fantastic growth in Club membership and the launch of a new and improved mobile-friendly version of slh.com.
“You can’t keep the luxury man down for long, and one of the key aspects of our success is our brilliant loyalty scheme. Our Club structure, with a 3 tier structure including Special, Loved and Honoured levels gives members fantastic benefits the more they stay with us.
