Payments technology firm Visa has inked a multi-year partnership agreement with Jumeirah Group, a luxury hotel company, to bring exclusive benefits to Visa cardholders.
The collaboration will allow Visa cardholders across the Middle East and North Africa with access to value-added cardholder benefits at Jumeirah properties that will be introduced throughout the course of the agreement.
To celebrate the launch, Visa cardholders worldwide will get 25% discount on any hotel stay taking place between 1 May and 30 September 2016 at Jumeriah properties in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and the Maldives.
Jumeirah Group chief commercial officer Alison Broadhead said: "The first such promotion offers Visa cardholders an opportunity to experience our 11 hotels in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and the Maldives. Future offers will include our hotels in London, Mallorca, Frankfurt, Turkey, Shanghai and Baku, and our restaurants around the world."
Visa group executive for Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa Kamran Siddiqi said: "We also know that travellers value the convenience, security and reliability that electronic payments offer, which makes a Visa card, whether carried in a wallet or loaded into a mobile device, the ideal companion for the modern, connected traveller.
