The
Association For Creative Industries (AFCI) is pleased to announce Hotels for
Hope as the official hotel booking partner of AFCI. Through this partnership,
members of the trade association will earn perks points by booking hotels
through the Hotels for Hope platform throughout the year and for Creativation,
the Association’s annual conference and trade show.
“Hotels
for Hope helps save our members money, which makes them an incredible partner,”
says Jason Baum, Director of Membership, AFCI. “AFCI Members receive $500 in perks
points by simply being a member and earn even more points whenever they book a
hotel for our events. Perks points make their travel more affordable.”
Hotels
for Hope’s database of over 600,000 hotel partners allows AFCI to expand the number
of hotels for Creativation, which gives attendees more options of where to stay
in the event’s location of Phoenix, Arizona. AFCI members will receive $250 in
perks points when they use Hotels for Hope to book a hotel for Creativation. AFCI
plans to begin using Hotels for Hope as the booking partner for all of its
events in 2019.
"Hotels
for Hope is thrilled to team up with AFCI as their official hotel booking
partner," said Neil Goldman, CEO and Founder. "Our goal is to reduce
travel costs for members while also impacting the lives of children all over
the country."
In
addition to these benefits, there is a charitable campaign tied to the
partnership. For every hotel room night booked through AFCI’s Hotels for Hope
platform, two dollars will be donated to the Kids In Need Foundation (KINF),
AFCI’s Charity of Choice.
“We are
thankful to Association For Creative Industries for their support as we provide
school supplies to students who need them most nationwide,” said Dave Smith,
Executive Director, Kids In Need Foundation. “When students have the tools they
need to learn, our research shows classroom participation and student
attendance increases. With your donations, we are able to provide more students
with school supplies.”
AFCI
members can begin to book hotels through the Hotels for Hope platform for
Creativation starting today. To book a hotel, visit
