Far beyond the stay, partnerships anchors ALL in member's day-to-day, on the move and everywhere. Following an extensive study, three main passion points resonate with our loyalty members: Entertainment, Dining and Culinary & Sports.
Accor announces today three main partnerships to illustrate those passion points.
We are pleased to be extending our partnership with AEG beyond the AccorHotels Arena to include premium venues providing over 60 000 tickets and private suites for our loyalty members in Latin America, Asia and Europe.
AEG is world's leading sports and live entertainment company, with more than 100 million guests a year, delivering innovation that inspires athletes, teams, artists and fans.
The Group has signed a new partnership with IMG, which will unlock access to chef masterclasses and culinary encounters for our best members courtesy of our loyalty program. Starting in 2020, our members will enjoy the best of Taste Festivals in London, Paris, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong and Toronto, with growth and expansion of the partnership into new cities over the next three years.
IMG is a global actor operating in more than 30 countries in sports, events, media, fashion, and especially culinary with immersive food experience.
Accor and Paris Saint-Germain Football Club today announce they have signed a global multi-year partnership agreement. ALL, Accor Live Limitless, Accor's new lifestyle loyalty platform, will become the Principal Partner and official jersey sponsor of the club starting from the 2019/2020 season. The partnership will bring together the world's fastest-growing football club with a global, pioneering leader in the hospitality industry.
To reflect the ambition of the group to engage our guests in their daily lives and to embody the premium nature of its portfolio of brands, Accor launched a new premium visual language including a new corporate logo. The two distinctive brands, Accor and ALL, will utilize the same 'iconic A' monogram that represents the seal of excellence of the group and which fuses the letter A with the bernache which is the historical emblem of the group.
These ambitious initiatives are designed to increase the global visibility of our brands to strengthen the efficiency of our distribution networks and to offer our guests an attractive and unique loyalty program in the industry.
To support these initiatives, the Group will invest EUR225 million of the EUR4.8 billion generated by the Booster operation, with the financial objective of creating EUR75 million per year of gross operating surplus in the medium term.
