Meeting Planners Now Receive Immediate Rewards

Luxury Hotel Brand Supports Meetings Industry and Meeting Planners with
Short-Term Reward

IRVING, Texas, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Effective today, meeting planners can
be rewarded with up to $500 towards a meetings/travel industry organization
when booking a meeting at any Omni Hotel. As part of the brand's Select
Rewards program, planners can receive their reward upfront, immediately after
the contract has been signed. The $500 can be used for MPI, NBTA, ASAE, PCMA
or RCMA conferences, annual dues or as a foundation donation for any of these
organizations.

On top of Omni's innovative ZERO Attrition, RapidResponse and ReSELL programs
launched earlier this year, the $500 reward for meetings was designed to
address the ever-changing demands in the meetings marketplace. Omni will be
providing the reward immediately after a signed contract is received, rather
than have the planner wait for the meeting to be consumed and paid in full,
enabling them to quickly sign a new contract and even be able to attend one of
the upcoming conferences.

"Many planners are seeking creative solutions to how they participate in these
vital organizations given their many resource demands," said Tom Faust, vice
president of sales for Omni Hotels. "The ability to immediately take
advantage of a rewards program is another way we partner with planners as well
as the meetings and travel community."

This special offer may not be used in conjunction with other offers or
promotions and applies to new group bookings of $25,000 or greater in rooms
revenue which are contracted and consumed in 2009. Omni Hotels' Select
Rewards program gives meeting planners a broad range of reward choices with
the option of giving the reward to their organization or donating it to
meeting attendees for raffles and prizes.
