WHY IT RATES: In today’s uncertain world, it’s heartening to see travel companies pay tribute to those whose careers are centered on helping others – healthcare workers, first responders and military members – with programs such as Rental Escapes’ “REcognizing Heroes,” which offers $2,500 in experience credits on the entire portfolio of the company’s luxury villas.— Claudette Covey, Executive Retail Editor.
Rental Escapes is honoring military members, first responders, and healthcare professionals with the launch of its ‘REcognizing Heroes’ program, offering up to $2,500 in experience credit per booking. The new initiative invites everyday heroes to trade duty for downtime with elevated, fully customized villa stays around the world.
The program is open to active and retired military, first responders, and healthcare professionals including nurses, paramedics, and EMTs who show a valid ID.
The experience credit can be used to enhance every aspect of a luxury villa vacation, making elevated travel experiences more accessible and seamless. From adding a private chef or butler and booking in-villa spa treatments, to yacht charters, guided cultural tours, and family-friendly cooking classes, guests can tailor each stay to their preferences and enjoy the means to enhance their vacation with this credit. Whether it’s a sunset sail in the Caribbean or a wine tasting in Tuscany, the credit allows travelers to enjoy the kinds of meaningful, memory-making moments that transform a vacation into something truly special.
“At Rental Escapes, we are deeply moved by the men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting and caring for others, often at a great personal sacrifice,” said Willie Fernandez, chief marketing and sales officer at Rental Escapes. “With REcognizing Heroes, our goal is simple: to say thank you. We hope this program gives these individuals the chance to set down the weight of their responsibilities, even if just for a few days, and experience the kind of rest and joy they deserve. This isn’t just a promotion; it’s our small act of gratitude for their immeasurable service.”
A key component of the program is Rental Escapes’ dedicated Guest Experience Specialists who ensure a seamless and highly personalized stay from start to finish. Acting as a single point-of-contact, they handle every details – from pre-stocking the fridge and organizing airport transportation to curating unforgettable excursions. The result is a completely stress-free experience that allows guests to fully switch off, something those on the front lines don’t often have the opportunity to do.
Experience credits are based on the gross villa rate, excluding any taxes, fees, and security deposits and are not combinable with any other specials or offers. The tiers are as follows:
Bookings between $5,000-$10,000 earn $100 in credit, $10,001-$25,000 earn $250 in credit, $25,001 - $50,000 500 in credit, $50,001-$99,999 $1,000 in credit, $100,000-$150,000 $1,500 in credit and $150,001 or more $2,500 in credit.
With REcognizing Heroes, Rental Escapes reaffirms its commitment to delivering not only exceptional villa accommodations, but also meaningful travel experiences that honor those who have given so much.
