With Unforgettable Moments, we want to offer travelers the excitement, emotion, and authentic hospitality enjoyed at hotels that share their independent spirit – in both new and familiar destinations,” said Lori Strasberg, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Preferred Hotels & Resorts. “As our new signature campaign, we are looking forward to spotlighting the unique locations that make up our global portfolio of independent, one-of-a-kind hotels and resorts.”

Travel agents will also benefit from a total commission of 12% (which includes an additional 2% bonus) for bookings made via GDS or directly with a qualifying IATA or TIDS number.
