Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts has unveiled its Xtraordinary Travel Consultants (XTC) programme which aims to reward travel agents who secure bookings at Banyan Tree and Angsana properties.
The programme is available to travel consultants via either a qualifying selection process or by-invitation-only basis and privileges include preferential rates for accommodation, dining and spa treatments, as well as chance to enjoy an all-expenses-paid one-week holiday for two at a selected Banyan Tree or Angsana retreat.
“Through the XTC programme, we want to show our appreciation to our valued travel partners who have been instrumental in our growth from a single boutique resort in Phuket in 1994 to close to 30 around the world today via a meaningful, exciting platform,” said Audrey Chung, assistant vice president, Global Marketing Network, Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts.

“We launched XTC in selected markets like the UK, Singapore, China and France, in 2009, and because it was well received by the travel agents, we decided to expand it into a worldwide programme this year,” added Chaung. “To date, since our launch on 22 February this year, we have received over 400 enquiries from interested agents around the world.”
Members can track their progress on the dedicated XTC website banyantree.com/xtc, access useful tips and insider’s information on choice destinations, as well as receive updates on the latest promotions.
Agents in the GCC that are interested in joining the programme should contact Banyan Tree’s representative general sales agent for the Middle East: Tim Lane-Stott, director, Destination Marketing Division, Terhab International: tim@terhabinternational.com
