When we refer to the Leisure Segment its important to remember there are two key parts as follows:
Distribution: when we refer to distribution we are talking about the authorized channels we use to
make our rooms available for sale thru those channels. We distribute our rooms on different channels
with different prices and booking conditions to secure bookings at our hotels.
Direct vs Indirect : We use channels that are direct and also use intermediaries to receive bookings.
Online vs Offline : Some of these channels are connected to us thru TARS and others are not. This term
also applies to whether bookings that we receive come from the internet or other methods.

Allotments or Freesale

No Credit
Given the volatility and precarious financial nature of this segment of the leisure market it is essential that no credit is issued
under any circumstances. All contracts should be prepaid or have a floating deposit.
Flash Sale Program
A Flash Sale
is a discount or promotion offered by an ecommerce store for a short period of time. The quantity is limited, which often
means the discounts are higher or more significant than run-of-the-mill promotions. The time limit and limited availability
entice consumers to buy on the spot - aka impulse buying.

Booking windows is between 2 weeks to 1 month
Staying Period minimum 1 year to 1,5 year
Minimum length of stay : 5 nights

BROCHURE
The Basic Defined
The Brochure
Is the main marketing tool a Tour Operator has to market and sell its contracted hotels to customers. Brochures are produced by destination
and are usually limited in the number of hotels that can be featured. Getting “Brochured” is a highly competitive undertaking and its always a
struggle to get new hotels brochured. Tour Operators look at Hotel type, location, price, your promotional offers and how well a property sells in
previous selling periods when deciding on who to brochure and who to drop each year.
Getting Brochured can be very expensive therefore each hotel has to do their own brochure analysis every year
The Brochure contribution cost should not be higher than 6% of the annual revenue your receive from that customer
Example :
TUI German brochure for one year USD 6,500
Your total revenue production from TUI German in full contracting year is USD 280,000
Your total Brochure contribution cost is 2%
BROCHURE LAYOUT - Each Brochure has a distinct layout. It’s important to understand the number, size and layout of the pictures you can
upload to determine the best pictures to use.
Example 1 : 2 picture layouts are usually Example 2: Multi-photo layouts allow 3-4
reserved for HERO shot and Room Shot. pictures.
The Basic Defined
The Website – Most Tour Operator websites have a similar look and feel to OTA websites. When customers navigate around the
website they will see a stack of properties with the HERO shot representing their properties. Customers in traditional markets are starting to
move away from Brochures to websites. Most TOs allow hotels to upload upto 20 pictures via extranets. However, to get noticed and shortlisted
we need our HERO shot to POP and grab the customers attention from our competitors.
How to put your photos in the right order
On websites, you have the choice to upload upto 20 pictures, its important to get them into a logical order based on
importance for the leisure customer. We suggest you follow the order below:
• From the 6th picture onwards its perfectly acceptable to include photos of other pools, bars, food outlets, spa, outdoor spaces, kids clubs, golf etc.
Try to order the pictures in a logical manner in a way that a customer may experience while at your property. For example outdoor food outlets
should be grouped with pool photos so customers can clearly visualize being poolside and then grabbing an ice cream from an outlet or a
cocktail poolside. Family pictures and Spa pics should be displayed apart from one another. Always keep in mind cultural nuances for your
target market. What may be relevant for the Asian Market may be less so for European and Western markets. As a general rule do not post the
following pictures.
• Meeting Space / Wedding Pictures or Business Convention Pictures. If your property attracts weddings include pictures of those
spaces without using overtly obvious wedding pictures.
• Suites and Villas (unless contracted by the Tour Operator)
The Hero Shot
• If you had to pick one photo to represent your property, it would be your HERO shot. We recommend that you use the same HERO shot across
all channels and markets.
• On brochures the HERO shot will be the largest picture a customer sees of your property.
• On websites your HERO shot will be stacked with other competitors HERO shots , just like on OTA websites. Where this happens its critical
that your HERO shot stands out from your competitors. If your competitors are all using the iconic “Blue Sky – Blue Pool” shots consider using
a Sunset version of the same space to ensure your picture stands out among a sea of blue pictures.
• For City hotels the HERO shot is usually the lobby, for resorts, its your signature pool or view.

1. AERIAL OR EXTERNAL PHOTO – showcasing your resorts setting against the sea, mountains or other landmarks provides the
customer with a sense of perspective and an idea of your property’s style (Modern vs Traditional) and Size (Large, Boutique). City hotels can
showcase their heritage buildings or proximity to key landmarks. If you don’t have a compelling aerial or exterior photo, skip this step and
proceed with a room picture as your second picture.
Room with a view
Perhaps one of the most important pictures to impact the customer decision is the ROOM picture. Here are a few key
reminders to consider:
THE ROOM
• Use pictures of rooms you have contracted. Never show suites or villas that are not contracted as they will not be sold.
Make sure your Room photo is culturally relevant. Twin Beds for Japanese Market and King for European for example.
• Choose a picture that best represents the style and size of the rooms you have contracted and that will be sold.
• If you have less than 5 photos to choose, always assume the leisure customer is single or a couple. Never feature a room
picture with family set-up unless its for a specific family orientated website or brochure. If you have more than 5
pictures to upload, it’s a good idea to order family rooms towards the end of the picture carousel.
• European customers like to see balconies or outdoor spaces that are part of the room.
• Choose a photo that showcases as much of the room as possible keeping the above point in mind. For irregular sized
rooms or where 1 photo does not capture the feel of the room, you should consider uploading 2 pictures to engender
the confidence of your customer and to alleviate any concerns that you are hiding something.
SEE EXAMPLES OF GOOD AND BAD PHOTO SELECTIONS ON THE NEXT SLIDE
Example of room pictures
This Suite is not contracted by the Tour Operator so Picture faces out with balcony and view guests will
will never be booked. It’s misleading enjoy during their stay.
Bathroom Pictures
If you can only showcase 3 photos on a brochure or website then the Bathroom simple wont make the cut. If you have
more than 5 photos then the bathroom picture becomes an essential photo to showcase and should be ordered directly
after the room shot.
THE BATHROOM
• Use pictures that show most of the bathroom. This is particularly important for economy brands where shooting angles
can be tight to capture a wide photo. Most Luxury brands wont have issues with grabbing a wide angle. When you
need to choose between a number of pictures to showcase your bathroom its always a good idea to pick one that
shows the order of importance from Shower, Basin, Bath.
SEE EXAMPLES OF GOOD AND BAD PHOTO SELECTIONS ON THE NEXT SLIDE
Examples of bathroom pictures
It’s preferable with newer hotels to include a close up shot of Close up of the bathroom with the main amenities of shower and
the bathroom rather than one taken from the room. basin are preferred to showing the entire bathroom which
sometimes in small spaces cannot be captured in 1 photo.
Resort Amenities
After ordering the Essential 4 pictures of HERO | AERIAL | ROOM | BATHROOM comes your chance to showcase the various
experiences customers can have while on property particularly for LUXURY BRANDS.
Include pictures of all the Hotel amenities that customers can use and interact with to add to the experience at your property.
Consider the following.

Drive Visibility
Driving business through all.accor.com, accorplus.com and the Accor All – Hotel Booking app is a cornerstone of Accor’s corporate
distribution strategy. The key to this strategy is to ensure that we have the best possible rates, conditions and offers at all times on our
direct channels, allowing for a higher repeat ratio at lower cost via our Loyalty platforms. In addition, we must ensure that leisure
contracts we participate in do not result in lower rates being made available on 3rd party (non-Accor) online channels
All leisure static rate contracts that remain must clearly state that the operator is in a privileged position and are for the sole purpose
of packaging and that any violations will result in immediate consequences leading towards contract termination. General Managers

Each year we set up Account Teams around our Strategic and Key Accounts to ensure
we have 1 Global Account Manager supported by regional Account Managers in the
HUBs to support and grow business from our Top accounts. If an account has sufficient
business into our Hub or potential to grow and has an active travel manager in our HUB
to influence the buying decision an account manager will be dedicated to that account.
The RFP season is the main time of the year to contract Corporate Business Travel
Accounts. Over recent years the season has been erratic with extended periods of
contracting. Generally the main period or contracting starts in June and extends to
January. Some Accounts contract off season starting in November and ending in March.
Its not unusual to be contracting year round in some markets.

RFI NEGOTIATION
Request For Information (RFI)
The RFI is the process where the Global Account Manager is prompted to prepare for
the client’s upcoming official RFP.
This is usually an internal process that starts with the Global Account Manager, Account
Contributors and International Sales Coordinator (ISC) via ANAIS to begin preparations
for the RFP.
Business cases must be provided when submitting the RFI and it should be
personalized for each of the accounts. It is important to note that Global Account
Managers will only put forward hotels that meet the accounts’ requirements.
Only submit business cases where there is a match between the accounts travel needs
and your Hotel. When in doubt speak to your local account lead.
Building a Business Case
Writing a strong business case is your first opportunity to get noticed by the account
and allows the Global Account Manager to review the quality of the match between
what you have to offer and what the account is looking for.
Submitting the business case is the first step to being shortlisted. If the account accepts
your bid for inclusion you will be invited to submit an RFP as your next step.
RFP Process
RFP ( Request For Proposal) is the main bidding process where accounts will solicit hotels
from around the world. The starting point for the RFP process begins with the Global
Account Manager and ISC (International Sales Coordinator) who will set the RFP up for
hotels to respond.
Carefully review the accounts requirements, terms and conditions before submitting the
proposal. Hotels need to enter the rate offer and answer the account’s specific questions
in Cvent (formerly Lanyon).
Hotels are responsible to monitor and respond to all requests on time. We suggest hotels
assign an RFP ambassador to monitor incoming requests to avoid missing RFP invites
and deadlines.
If you are looking for Aircrew or Airline segment business for your hotel there are number of
things in this Playbook you need to know to get started.
• SALES LEADS – Find out who your Airline contact is in the HUB for your country and express
your desire to secure aircrew business.
• AIRLCREW WISH LIST – Your sales lead will ask you to complete the wishlist. Check the
section in the playbook to familiarize yourself with the form
• BEST PRACTICES – Each new hotel bidding for new crew should submit a visual
presentation along with the RFP to help the airline evaluate your bid. A copy is included in
the Best Practice section. We have also provided you with handy tips and a site inspection
checklist to ensure you are prepared for the a comprehensive site inspection should your
property be shortlisted.
TYPES OF OPPORTUNITIES
BUSINESS TYPES / OPPORTUNITIES
Most of us are familiar with the aircrew opportunities, however the segment
consists of 6 types of opportunities available for hotels to pursue. These are:
1. Air crew
2. Cargo crew
3. Technical crew
4. Distressed Passenger Accommodation (Delayed or Cancelled flights)

CHOICE IS YOURS
BUILDING A TACTICAL OFFER
A SECRET SAUCE WEBINAR WAS
HOSTED TO LAUNCH THE CHOICE IS
YOURS TACTICAL OFFER.
• We have created a new Meeting Offer Template so that we can promote Accor Meeting Offers with a consistent content
structure and tone of voice to all our customers. The new Accor Meeting Offer is called THE CHOICE IS YOURS (CIY)
• CIY address the 3 critical components Meeting Planners look for in an offer 1) Master Rebate or Discount 2) Loyalty Points 3)
Value Adds. We prefer to use a master rebate vs override commission to ensure we don’t increase our base commission
levels. Also we prefer to use a discount vs reducing our rates so the rebate can be treated as an expense.
• By having 1 offer we are able to create greater marketing awareness of Accor Meetings and ensure our Meeting Industry
partners have 1 offer to upload into their portals for their planners to access. We can also message to our meeting planner
community that the offer is available at all our hotels in our hub.
• Finally it removes the duplication effort that comes with hotels needing to create their own creative assets
UNDERSTANDING THE
KEY ELEMENTS OF THE OFFER
MASTER REBATE
• Up to 30% on the central offer.
Hotels can choose to do 5% as a
minimum, up to max. 30%.

the rebate and value-adds (don’t
have to offer both)
LOYALTY KICKER
All meetings qualify for Loyalty
points regardless if you do a Price
Match or offer rebate and value
adds

includes a master rebate | loyalty kicker and Perks section. These elements resonate with meeting planners.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HOTELS WITHOUT ANAIS
MANUAL SUBMISSION PROCESS
INSTRUCTIONS
• Email to seajsk.meeting.concierge@accor.com by
1st of each month
• Short lead time Groups ( within the month) • Define what is LOW RISK, SHORT LEAD groups for your hotel
• Low risk groups ( repeat customers, Under USD10k) • Review the template and create your hotel version
• Customers requiring greater flexibility due to erratic Restrictions • Use the template as needed
• When customers don’t want to pay big deposits upfront • Refer to the FAQ for recommendations/guidelines
Q: What is the definition of small group business?
You have the flexibility to define group size according your Hotel’s property size and needs. As a general guideline, we
recommend that you define small group size between
This is a recommendation only. Hotels need to define what is considered small group business as this is very much
dependent on hotel’s business needs, appetite for risk and proportion to property size.
Q: When should I use the Express Agreement contract template?
• The Express Agreement is for immediate use in the current Covid-19 period.
When the cancellation request is % of the meeting value being Cancellation fees
received by the Hotel cancelled
Depending on booking lead-time and appetite for risk, hotels may choose to waive the deposit.
As a general guideline, we recommend:
• Accommodation cancellation clause of 3 working days prior to arrival date, with client’s
written notice.
• Waived cancellation fees for accommodation only groups.
• Attrition clause be omitted.
CANCELLATION
Our mainframe hotel contracts’ cancellation lead-time is usually at a standard 30, 60 or 90 days
prior to group arrival or event start date. Whereas the Express Agreement enables hotels to
amend the cancellation lead-time based on business needs and demands, appetite for risk,
owner requests etc.
BEST PRACTICES
• Always ensure contracts are signed by both parties regardless of group size and booking lead-
time, as the contract is a legally binding document.
• Amendment and adding of clauses to the Express Agreement contract template should be
minimal. If hotels wish to include property specific information, we recommend supplying it in
a separate document or banquet kit.
• Follow up closely with clients throughout the process e.g. get updates regularly on client’s
potentially ever changing requirements, thank them for choosing your hotel etc.

Question Answer
If there are new consortias we want to try to add,
when would you need to know that by? I'm To add a new consortia we would need to know by June-July the latest for Y +1
thinking of Reed & Mackay in the UK as the recruitment kit needs to be built, with client presentation, figures
Consortia needs to have global footprint and revenue in a global scope, accept
Is there a business case for it? Can we have those our targets such as performance incentive and all attachement rate incentive,
KPIs to prepare the possible new consortias in accept to conduct business reviews, with information sharing, share market
share information,, propose action plans to give accor visibility, accept accor
legal template, etc.
Yes Ibis Budget can opt in. They need to be fastcom, and accept to pay the 2%
extra commission. We accept them even though they do not have standard
Can I double-check that Ibis Budget can opt-in to
commission. It is better if they are in the 3 GDSs (as in the UK) but we also
this as well ?
accept hotels that are not in GDSs as some countries do still have offline
production even with TMCs
It is a legal and not a commercial topic : the HMAs signed by FRS properties
Will the FRS recruitment model always remain
imply the current business model which is quite transparent to the hotels. And
the same or will they over follow the legacy

Question Answer
hoteI had a quick query from WIN on :
Are you compliant with safety and security
Hotels are open after the safety and security commission come to the hotel to
accreditation
check that all is compliant with the national regulation.
or certification ISO31030 (Travel Risk
The hotels load in TARS the products and certificates they have in terms of
Management)?.
security and safety
Hotels said yes but they wondered if we really
were accredited. Is that related to Planet 21?
so far I never dhad any audit. The TMC send this Yes for TMCs it is usually Clément and Delphine who get audits, then you would
request to Delphine or Clement directly? get audits if you are in charge of a consortia with global deal in place – list in the
recruitement kit
So we need to use the audit excel spreadsheet
only for multiple properties and the check list for a
Yes Audit : multiple property, check list : single query
single query?
Question Answer
If the TMC does not sign the contract, where do
we stand in that situation? Does the negotiation /
agreement cease? It has always been very difficult No, this clause cannot be changed, it is important as it covers hotels ww, even if
to get contracts based on French Law across the signature is in a hub. If not possible, please contact legal teams for help
