Travel Leaders Group connects agents and luxury travellers

Travel Leaders Group Select Hotels & Resorts, on 27 July 2015, announced the launch of TLSelectHotels.com.

With 850 participating hotels globally, TLSelectHotels.com aims to provide travellers with the best available rates, while also adding complimentary breakfasts for two daily, room upgrades and early check-ins/late check-outs (subject to availability) and more, all with the service of a travel agent.

“The race to the bottom is littered with countless cookie-cutter sites selling cookie-cutter hotel properties, yet with the dramatic increase in the number of luxury properties around the world, it’s clear that price is not the ultimate motivator for truly discerning travellers,” explained Barry Liben, Chief Executive Officer of Travel Leaders Group, North America’s largest traditional travel agency company with 6,500 locations generating $20 billion in annual sales. “Because of the enormous clout we have earned with the world’s most desirable properties, we’ve succeeded in negotiating exceptional rates with the type of value-added benefits our clients want most – and they can now see what each hotel has to offer via our new TLSelectHotels.com that we’re proudly unveiling today.”

First launched in 2013 initially with 447 of the world’s most prestigious hotels and resorts, Select Hotels & Resorts is an amenity-rich luxury hotel collection that consumers can only book through travel agents affiliated with Travel Leaders Group, including Cruise Specialists, Nexion, Protravel International, Results! Travel, Travel Leaders, Tzell Travel Group, and Vacation.com. The new TLSelectHotels.com site is designed to enable consumers to browse participating properties at their leisure or while talking to their personal travel agent.
