Costco Travel Gives Members Up to 30% Discounts at Luxury Hotels

— April 26, 2018 — World
Just last month, Costco announced that it would be offering deals to its members through Costco Travel to provide 30% discounts to luxury hotels such as the Fairmont, Waldorf Astoria, Hyatt and Hilton.

Costco Travel has long been a platform where members have been able to make the most of discounted rates for everything from car rentals and cruises to holiday packages, but it is now offering members 10% to 30% off hotel rates—depending on the dates and destination. In some cases, Costco members are able to get access to better prices than they ordinarily would through some online travel agencies or online travel search engines.

Considering that memberships to Costco start at about $60 per year, the travel incentives alone have the potential to save consumers tons of money.
Trend Themes
1. Discounted Luxury Hotels - Costco Travel offers members up to 30% discounts on luxury hotels, disrupting the traditional hotel booking industry.
2. Enhanced Membership Benefits - By providing exclusive travel incentives, Costco Travel is setting a trend in adding more value to membership programs, inspiring other industries to explore similar strategies.
3. Competitive Online Travel Agencies - Costco Travel's ability to offer better hotel prices than online travel agencies highlights a trend of new competition and disruption in the online travel industry.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality and Accommodation - The hotel industry can leverage the trend of discounted luxury hotels to attract more customers and differentiate themselves from competitors.
2. Retail and Membership Programs - Other retail corporations could explore adding travel incentives to their membership programs, similar to Costco Travel, to increase customer loyalty and engagement.
3. Online Travel Agencies - With Costco Travel offering competitive prices, online travel agencies should explore innovative strategies to enhance their value proposition and stay competitive in the market.
