Dorsett Hospitality launches 'Perfect 10' loyalty campaign rewarding every tenth night stayed across its portfolio
Executive summary: Dorsett Hospitality International launched Perfect 10, a loyalty campaign that rewards members with a free night for every ten stays booked through Dorsett – Your Rewards.

Dorsett Hospitality International has unveiled Perfect 10, a new loyalty mechanic under its Dorsett – Your Rewards program that grants a free night after every ten paid stays. The campaign aims to simplify earning and accelerate redemption for members across the group's hotels. The move comes as hotel chains globally refine loyalty economics to retain direct bookings and counter OTA intermediation. No financial terms or enrollment targets were disclosed in the release.
