ATLANTA, Nov. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- IHG® Hotels & Resorts, one of the
world's leading hotel companies, is once again celebrating
hospitality for heroes in November to mark Veteran's Day and
National Veterans and Military Families Month. For the second year,
IHG Army Hotels – a unique portfolio of hotels located on 40 U.S.
military installations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico – will give away 1 million IHG
Rewards Club points in appreciation of the many contributions of
military service members. In 2019, IHG received entries from across
the U.S. spotlighting service members from multiple branches of the
military nominated by their friends and family.
Jay Caiafa, Chief Operating
Officer, IHG, Americas said: "As an Air Force veteran, I
am exceptionally proud of, and share, the commitment of our teams
at IHG Army Hotels to provide true hospitality to traveling members
of the military and their families. IHG is honored to serve those
who serve our country, both as guests and colleagues at many of our
hotels and corporate offices. I'm looking forward to joining our
fans to say 'thank you' to active duty service members and veterans
this November and welcoming the lucky winners of this year's
giveaway at IHG-branded hotels."
The 2020 sweepstakes begins Nov. 6
and runs through Nov. 15. To enter
the sweepstakes on Instagram, simply follow @IHGArmyHotels and
create an Instagram post or Instagram story with a relevant image
and caption saluting a veteran or group of veterans. Entries must
tag @IHGArmyHotels and include #101salutes and #sweepstakes. Fans
can also enter by emailing a photo and caption directly to
IHGAHSweepstakes@ihg.com. IHG will award a total of 1 million IHG
Rewards Club points to 10 winners, with 100,000 designated for each
winner. Click here for full terms and conditions.
In addition to providing true hospitality, IHG offers the IHG
Military Appreciation Leisure Rate – a military discount for
U.S. and Canadian active duty, veterans, retired military
personnel, and family members at participating IHG hotels across
the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Latin
America, and the Caribbean.
From luxurious Caribbean resorts
to family-friendly suites situated near popular theme parks, IHG
has a hotel brand to suit every budget and lifestyle.
IHG also supports veterans through its IHG Veterans Hiring
initiative, which offers comprehensive job listings across IHG
corporate offices, IHG Army Hotels, and IHG-branded hotels
worldwide. Designed as an easy-to-navigate resource, the
hospitality career portal encourages veterans to put their passion
to work.
