1 MILLION CLUB CARLSONSM MEMBERS IN ASIA PACIFIC PREFER
CARLSON REZIDOR HOTELS
Carlson Rezidor’s loyalty program achieves one millionth member mark in Asia Pacific
SINGAPORE (August 25, 2014) – Club CarlsonSM, Carlson Rezidor’s global hotel rewards program,
recently recognized and rewarded its millionth member in Asia Pacific with one million Club Carlson
Gold Points®. Club Carlson, one of the fastest-growing in the world, has more than 12 million
members globally. It is ranked fourth among all the top hospitality rewards programs and is also one
of the most rewarding hotel loyalty programs in the world.
“Club Carlson membership has been growing exponentially in Asia Pacific, in line with Carlson
Rezidor’s rapidly expanding footprint across the region with close to 100 operating hotels. For our
hotel owners, Club Carlson’s reach and increasing popularity means even more repeat stays, a
higher average spend and stronger revenue performance. For our Club Carlson members, staying
at our hotels means that they are not only assured of a memorable guest experience, they are also
rewarded generously through Club Carlson benefits, which include the faster route to a free night’s
stay. Congratulations to Mr Rong Weijie on being our one millionth member,” said Mr Thorsten
Kirschke, president, Asia Pacific, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group.
Mr Rong Weiji is a Sales and Marketing Division Manager from Santen Pharmaceutical, who
checked into Radisson Blu Shanghai New World on August 22, 2014. He said, “I choose where to
stay based on brand, quality, service and location. I know Carlson Rezidor has hotels in many
locations worldwide and as I travel the world for both business and leisure, I have stayed at quite a
few of them – in France, Italy and Asia Pacific. I feel comfortable choosing Carlson Rezidor hotels
and I will definitely use my Gold Points for my next holiday, and perhaps also redeem some points
for car rental and other benefits.”
Club Carlson offers its members a wide variety of redemption options that meet all their travel
needs, including air miles, thanks to global partnerships with leading international airlines. Members
also enjoy special recognition at any Carlson Rezidor hotel they check into, while earning points that
