LONDON, October 1, 2010 - Guoman and Thistle Hotels have launched a dual incentive
scheme which includes great offers for meetings and events booked looking to
secure event space between now and 31st March 2011.

Guoman Hotels, the exclusive collection of deluxe,
inspirational hotels across central London, and Thistle Hotels, the chain of
quality full-service hotels in the UK's major cities, are offering meetings
and events bookers the chance of winning a whole array of exciting rewards,
such as free Apple goodies, a double booking bonus reward, 3% commission
boost, free day delegates (this occurs for Thistle only) or even a luxury
holiday to Asia.

For customers to be in with a chance of benefiting from any of
these rewards, they simply have to book a meeting at one of the hotels
between now and 31st March 2011, with the meetings occurring between 1st
January and 31st March 2011.

There are many Apple prizes up for grabs, with a different
prize available, depending on how much a customer spends:

Spending GBP1,000 will qualify the customer for an iPod Shuffle.

Spending GBP5,000 will qualify the customer for an iPod.

Spending GBP10,000 will qualify the customer for an iPad.

Spending GBP25,000 will qualify the customer for an iMac.

Additionally, a booking of two meetings can earn customers 2%
cash-back on the value of any meetings and events spend, plus receive GBP4
for every room night booked online, and GBP2 for every room night booked
offline. A 3% commission boost above the usual rate is also included in the
offerings as well as being automatically entered into a draw to win one of
four luxury holidays to the newly opened Guoman Hotel in Shanghai.

Customers have a number of different meetings and events venues to choose
from, with 14 luxury rooms being based in Guoman's London hotels.
