The awarding of My Millennium points for corporate rates is a positive step for Millennium Hotels & Resorts to further grow market share in the corporate market.

In addition, supplier relations contacts at travel management company partners will also be updated of this enhancement and ensure all teams are aware across their networks.
Clive Harrington, chief commercial officer at Millennium Hotels & Resorts said: “My Millennium was created with transparency, value and access in mind.
“This is an important message for both our individual leisure guests and our corporate bookers.
“We are proud to be enhancing the benefits for this valued group so soon after the launch of My Millennium, building on the programme’s initial success and ensuring all parties enjoy the best benefits in return for their loyalty.”
