“We are committed to curating the best experiences to connect our members through the power of travel,” said Alison Yang, Marriott VP, Revenue Strategy, Loyalty & Partnerships, Distribution, Greater China.

New reciprocal benefits of the partnership include a two-way points conversion between Marriott Bonvoy Points and Asia Miles.
