Join the world leader in hotel discount programs!
Hotel Express International (HEI), founded in 1987, is the world's leading hotel discount program. Our huge distributor network includes 55 international sales offices. We have agreements with more than 4,000 hotels in 145 countries worldwide, all giving our members a 50% discount off rack rates. Hotel Express International memberships are sold and maintained via independent national or regional sales offices, through telemarketing, direct mail and special marketing initiatives. The annual membership fee, while varying from country to country, is approximately €170 + VAT. With sufficient funding and efforts, the right distributors can develop a fabulous long-term business. HEI is currently seeking new distributors throughout the world.
How Does the Business Model Work?
Our customers are frequent travelers, mostly from small and medium sized companies. The memberships sold by our distributors consist of an embossed, personal Hotel Express card valid for one year, and a hotel directory. Our distributors also provide a free reservation service for travel abroad for their members, using our dedicated software. The quality of service offered to customers results in an exceptionally high renewal rate of 65% to 90% in different countries. This level of repeat business is the safety factor in our program, and one of the best reasons to join us as a distributor. You can build up a long term business when you have a stream of satisfied customers coming back for more.
What our franchisees are saying:
"Our company has been a member of Hotel Express since 1990 and currently has 70 cards. Last year we saved about 1 million Swedish Kroner by being a member of Hotel Express. Our employees travel within Sweden as well as abroad."
- Harrieth Wigström, Ravema AB, Sweden
"I'm in my second year of Hotel Express membership and it was a wise decision. I have the comfort of knowing that I have a good hotel waiting for me at the other end of a long flight with the added bonus of obtaining it for well below the market rate!"
- Bryan Mower, GRAX Designers Limited, London, UK
"As we are all aware, the cost of international travel has become increasingly expensive and we are all looking at reducing costs. Since being in business for 30 years I can honestly say that I have encountered few products giving these kinds of returns for my business, resulting in significant savings."
- John Flach, MD, Reed Business Information, South Africa
