“We greatly value our local corporate community for their continued support and decided to host this new event series as a way to thank them for their loyalty,”” said Hans Altenhoff, General Manager of the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort. “Creating Connections is about strengthening existing ties, building new relationships, and showing area businesses what the resort has to offer for corporate travel, events, meetings and more.”

During the event, Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) representatives were on hand to provide information about the resort’s new Booking Rewards Program, which enables local clients to accumulate points to be redeemed at Starwood Hotels and Resort Worldwide. Points can be used for free nights, room upgrades, airline flight awards and more. Attendees were also given a chance to win prizes and giveaways, such as stays at Starwood Hotels throughout the United States.

“Our goal tonight was to thank our business community, and present the strength of Starwood worldwide to the local community,” said Andre Newbold, Business Travel Sales Manager for the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort. “When you think business, think Sheraton!”
