We are excited to offer travelers more ways to follow their passion and experience unforgettable journeys.”
From May 24, 2022 to March 31, 2023, qualified Alipay members can sign up for a Marriott Bonvoy membership through the app and enjoy different levels of benefits. They can collect a special digital coupon (worth 30 RMB) for afternoon tea at Marriott International hotels and join a lucky draw to enjoy afternoon tea by spending 1 RMB at Marriott International.
