InterContinental Hotels & Resorts® Launches New Family Packages




Celebrate the end of a great year with your loved ones at a number of hotels across the Asia, Middle East and Africa region


Dubai, UAE, 20 October 2014: With its new Family Getaway Package, families looking to spend precious time together or explore a new destination now have another reason to go on an exciting and luxurious vacation at select InterContinental Hotels & Resorts® across the region.

From now to 28 February 2015, a number of hotels are offering a special Family Getaway Package where children can stay, dine and visit a local attraction for free. As part of the package, two parents and one child will enjoy a delectable buffet breakfast, with tickets to a local attraction. Children will also be able to embark on a gastronomical journey by indulging in dishes featured on the newly launched InterContinental Planet Trekkers Children’s Menu.*

Families have a variety of exciting destinations to choose from with InterContinental hotels and resorts across the Middle East participating in the promotion. For example, InterContinental Muscat is providing tickets for two adults and two children to the exclusive Big Bus Sightseeing Tour of Muscat, to ensure they don’t miss any of the major landmarks and historic sites in the city. Families aboard the Big Bus can sit back, relax and take in the stunning scenery and mountainous backdrop whilst listening to the history and culture of the Omani capital.

Further afield, InterContinental Singapore is offering tickets for two adults and one child to Singapore Zoo, where families will enjoy a close and intimate encounter with the more than 2,800 animals residing in the park. Since 1973, Singapore Zoo has been known for having among the most beautiful wildlife park settings in the world, where animals roam freely in open and naturalistic habitats, making it a must visit, particularly if travelling with children.

Samantha Llewellyn, Vice-President Marketing for Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA), InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) said, “We know that parents are always on the lookout for the best opportunities to show their children the world.
