Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi has launched the Shangri-La Events Collection and Golden Circle Event Planner Rewards – a meeting-and-event loyalty programme for meeting and travel professionals.
This programme will offer meeting and travel professionals and Golden Circle members the ability to achieve elite status, as well as earn and redeem points for groups, meetings, conferences and events across the Shangri-La, Kerry and Hotel Jen portfolio. 
With nearly 100 hotels located around the world from Lhasa to London, Shangri-La offers an extensive collection of meeting and event venues, boasting more than 300,000 square metres of dedicated event space.
Golden Circle Event Planner Rewards offers the highest level of rewards by any meeting-and-event loyalty programme. Planners can earn up to 40,000 Golden Circle Points on an event booking – the equivalent of 40 complimentary room nights. In addition, it is the only programme that allows members to earn double points for subsequent meetings or events booked in the same calendar year.
“With Event Planner Rewards, Golden Circle has enhanced the value we offer group and event planners worldwide. Our loyal event organisers may now earn Golden Circle points for their bespoke conferences, meetings and events. What is new is they can redeem points towards their future activities or use them for leisure travel and dining experiences,” said general manager Thomas Guss.
