WHM Corporate Membership - "We give you the edge"

The WHM network offers access to a large network of hotels and resorts, hotel managers, hotel investors, their agents, consultants, staff and advisors who can help to make your company more profitable. Networking makes business productive and pleasurable. For this reason, as well as organizing formal events we also offer hospitality at  events exclusive to members and their guests and which offer a perfect opportunity to meet and get to know prospective clients socially as well as in the formality of the meetings, the conferences or the host of other membership options. Where will you be when your competitors are doing business at WHM events?

In addition to the membership benefits enjoyed by our personal members corporate members additionally receive:-

One hour 1 - 2 - 1 Consultancy: Since 1984 Our Director General has been involved and has vast experience in Hotels and Resort Management and has first hand contacts internationally with Hotels, investors and their suppliers. Ideally we like to offer our new members a one hour meeting to provide a bespoke service for them. If a personal meeting is not possible due to distance however we offer a telephone conference, which allows us to understand and react to the corporate member's needs better.

Discounted Consultancy services: Although we do as much for our members as we can it is not possible for us to spend 8 hours a day looking after each of their individual needs. We therefore have teams of specialized consultants and project leaders which we know to be capable of assisting our members in all matters from start up to exit strategy at discounted rates. A member could therefore, set up business in any other country without ever leaving home.

Leads Galore: They say "it's not what you know it's who you know" but whether you  are armed with what you need to know or not the WHM will be there to supply you with details of where you can find those you need to know.

Networking: The WHM holds at least two major networking events each year for members, their guests, Exhibitors and industry visionaries as well as pioneers to meet, discuss, and promote their business. Each corporate Member company is invited to send 2 nominated personal members to each event completely free of charge ( normal price $1,000 ) and should they wish the company can also give a 30 minute presentation on their company and the role it plays within our industry in our presentation theatre. We also pass such opportunities from other organizers on to our members as well as supplying them with a list of Global Hospitality events where our members can get together with delegates from other companies. We can normally arrange special rates and sponsoring opportunities for those events which are not held by us and to which we can therefore not offer complementary entry.

Accreditation: The WHM acts as a watchdog and by being so member companies signal to those with whom they have a business relationship that they can be trusted. Although the WHM can give no guarantees of the fiscal standing of their members those dealing with them are assured that the member company has agreed to abide by the terms and conditions of our ethics council. In return we supply and grant members the right to display a membership certificate, our company logo in conjunction with the word "Member" or the words "product/service endorsed by" on their headed notepaper, their advertising materials or on their product after inspection by the WHM. We also grant members the right to use our animated logo with these words on their website.

Publication: Each member is entitled to a free entry in the Corporate Members Directory and to have their logo on the WHM website together with a 100 word company synopsis which will be put onto our web site against your company entry. We also offer each member company their own web page on the WHM site or a back link to the member's website from the WHM site which is an invaluable seo tool. When members of the trade press request interviews with the WHM we also attempt to ensure that Quotes from our members are included thus raising the member company profile.

United we stand: Whether it be reduced rates for Intelligence Reports or some other activity the Joint and Co-operative nature of our members when they come together enables them to negotiate that extra discount which can give their company that edge when remaining competitive or the ability to join together against negative legislation and where there is a need for legal & Regulatory work to be undertaken. When the WHM Travel Desk organises joint travel and accommodation for the networking events at discounted rates you travel and stay at the hub of the event.
