WHY IT RATES: Safeguarding
vacations makes them less stressful, and Marriott International is making it
easier with weather protection.—Donald Wood, News Editor.
Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy and WeatherPromise
team up to offer travelers, including nearly 237 million Marriott Bonvoy
members, the confidence of rain protection with their next vacation rental.
Marriott International is the first global hotel company to
team up with WeatherPromise, with the aim of providing guests with guaranteed
weather protection against rain. When guests book a trip on Homes and Villas by
Marriott Bonvoy, they are offered a chance to add a WeatherPromise, which pays
travelers if there is excessive rainfall. This unique offering gives people the
confidence to explore new destinations, even during times of the year when
weather worries are greatest.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to elevating guest
experiences and exploring innovative enhancements, we’re excited to introduce a
customized new offering to help protect your plans from unexpected rain when
booking a stay with Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy,” says Chris
Stephenson, Vice President, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy. “While rain
can sometimes dampen your vacation plans, WeatherPromise is now here to ensure
guests feel secure no matter what the forecast holds.”
Once a stay is booked through Homes & Villas by Marriott
Bonvoy, guests will have the opportunity to purchase a personalized
WeatherPromise that will provide a payout to the guest should the weather
exceed the conditions of the guarantee during the guest’s vacation. Each
WeatherPromise offer balances price, triggers, and overall experience for your
trip. Once a WeatherPromise is purchased, the system will automatically monitor
the weather using data from satellite, weather radar, and weather stations.
With WeatherPromise, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy guests can enjoy
added confidence when planning a trip.
“We’re proud to offer WeatherPromises to guests booking
through Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy and helping to set a new standard
for peace of mind in modern travel,” said Daniel Price, co-founder of
WeatherPromise. “By joining forces, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy and
WeatherPromise are providing added reassurance to customers booking through one
of the world’s most trusted vacation rental platforms. Our shared mission is to
expand when and how guests travel and experience the world, so they can enjoy
trips year-round knowing they’re protected against inclement weather.”
