What is the Sleep Over To Help Turnover scheme?
A NEW scheme similar to the Eat Out To Help Out Scheme has been launched by a number of hotels in the UK.
The Sleep Over to Help Turnover scheme offers hotel guests a number of perks including free booze.
What is the Sleep Over to Help Turnover Scheme?
Similar to the Eat Out To Help Out scheme, Sleep Over to Help Turnover is offering guests additional perks and upgrades when booking stays at any hotels signed up.
These include room upgrades, free booze and discounted meals and cocktails.
Launched by Hospitality Professionals Association (HOSPA), they explain: "The scheme’s overriding purpose is to encourage the public to continue engaging with hotels beyond the summer months and into autumn and winter – helping to prolong the recovery boost provided by #EatOutToHelpOut and to offset the latest measures.
"Looked at as a two-way initiative, #SleepOverToHelpTurnover seeks to encourage hoteliers to incentivise potential guests by offering discounts or extras, such as supplementary meals, additional nights, bottles of wine, free WiFi upgrades, complimentary parking, half-price cocktails and more to reward those who engage with the scheme and display their support for the hospitality industry."
It is backed by the government?
The scheme has not been backed by the government, and has only been launched by HOSPA.
