Manila, Philippines – Adding to a fresh move aimed at enhancing the travel experiences of its global workforce, RSI NGD Group has confirmed a significant expansion of its Expanded Corporate Travel Benefits (ECTB) under its Rising Dragons Benefits Program. This expansion involves a new arrangement with Hilton Hotels & Resorts, a globally recognized hospitality brand, providing RSI NGD Group employees with exclusive access to premium accommodations during business and personal trips branded by Hilton, in addition to other luxury hotel and resort brands already included in ECTB. The collaboration offers greater flexibility and luxurious options at Hilton’s extensive portfolio of hotels and resorts, enhancing the already robust travel benefits available to employees, key stakeholders, and affiliates, and their family members.

In recent news, ECTB was launched with discounts and exclusive special treatment at Shangri-La and Hyatt Hotels and Resorts chain, with additional support for rewards, miles, benefits, and third party affiliate discounts.

A Natural Fit for a Global Workforce

RSI NGD Group has always been focused on crafting an employee experience that reflects its global outlook and dynamic workforce. In today’s rapidly changing business environment, travel plays a crucial role in connecting teams, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation across different markets. Recognizing the importance of these connections, RSI NGD Group’s new partnership with Hilton aims to provide employees with more accommodation options that will not only ensure comfort but also reliability and exceptional service wherever they go.

As Mr. A.R. Sy, CEO of RSI NGD Group, stated, “We are constantly looking for ways to enrich the lives of the Rising Dragons, and adding Hilton Hotels to our travel benefits is another step in that very direction. Be it travel for business or leisure, we want them to experience superior service and luxury that meet their, and even my, highest expectations.”

With this move, RSI NGD Group continues to place emphasis on work-life balance, offering its employees access to exclusive discounts, upgrades, and loyalty rewards at Hilton properties worldwide. This ensures that wherever their travels take them—from the bustling streets of New York City to the tranquil beaches of Maldives—the Rising Dragons can rest easy knowing they’ll have access to the same high standards of service and luxury they’ve come to expect.

A Wide Expansion of Choices with Hilton

With this expanded arrangement, Hilton Hotels & Resorts now becomes a key player in RSI NGD Group’s growing network of hospitality providers.

Luxurious Travel for Business and Leisure

RSI NGD Group’s Expanded Corporate Travel Benefits under the Rising Dragons Benefits Program already offers an impressive range of premium, luxurious, five-star options for employees. With Hilton Hotels & Resorts now on board, the program gives the Rising Dragons a longer list to choose from for both business travel accommodations and personal vacations.

Rising Dragons can enjoy special rates, room upgrades, and exclusive offers when booking Hilton properties. Whether they are attending a conference in New York or relaxing at the Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa, the addition of Hilton ensures employees have access to a range of luxurious experiences tailored to their needs.

For business travelers, properties like the Hilton London Metropole offer proximity to major business districts and airports, making work trips seamless and efficient. On the leisure side, hotels like the Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa provide employees with the opportunity to unwind and enjoy tropical paradise settings during their vacation time.

This blend of business and leisure travel benefits reinforces RSI NGD Group’s commitment to holistic employee well-being and a balanced work-life experience.

Personalized Experiences and Exclusive Offers

The addition of Hilton Hotels brings exclusive privileges to RSI NGD Group's Rising Dragons, including Hilton Honors membership benefits. Employees can earn points for free stays, access VIP perks, and enjoy room upgrades, early check-ins, and more.

Hilton’s diverse portfolio ensures that employees have the flexibility to choose from a variety of experiences. Whether staying in an urban hotspot like the Conrad New York Midtown or exploring local culture at Canopy by Hilton Dallas Uptown, employees will find a Hilton property that suits their individual travel style.

Enhancing Domestic and International Travel

While Hilton’s global network provides ample opportunities for luxury travel abroad, its domestic properties add even more value for those traveling within the Philippines. Employees on business trips to Manila, Cebu, or Davao can now experience Hilton’s renowned hospitality closer to home.

For example, Hilton Manila, located near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, offers a convenient, luxurious base for business travelers. Hilton Cebu Resort & Spa provides a serene beachside retreat for employees looking to enjoy a relaxing local getaway without leaving the country.

This expanded access also benefits employees traveling between RSI NGD Group’s international offices, which are spread across Asia, North America, and Europe. By including Hilton properties, the ECTB ensures that employees enjoy consistent and high-quality service wherever they travel.

A Broader Commitment to Employee Well-Being

RSI NGD Group’s focus on enhancing the employee experience is evident in every aspect of its operations. The addition of Hilton Hotels to the ECTB program is a reflection of the company’s belief that a well-supported workforce is a more productive and engaged workforce.

However, this expansion of benefits does not stop here. RSI NGD Group management has hinted that the company’s expansion into the hospitality industry will extend beyond the ECTB program and earlier collaborations. While we await further details, the inclusion of Hilton in the company’s travel benefits is part of a broader strategy to deepen its connections within the luxury hospitality sector, signaling exciting future developments.

In addition to enhancing travel benefits, RSI NGD Group continues to invest in other employee-focused initiatives, such as professional development programs and wellness offerings. This commitment to holistic employee care ensures that RSI NGD Group remains a top choice for talent, both locally and globally.

Mr. Sy added, “We believe that success stems from a workforce that feels valued and supported. By providing world-class travel experiences through brands like Hilton, we are reinforcing our dedication to our employees’ well-being, both at work and in their personal lives.”

Looking Ahead: Promising Future Expansions

RSI NGD Group’s travel benefits program is set to continue evolving. While the inclusion of Hilton is an exciting development, management has indicated that the company’s engagement with the hospitality industry is far from complete or even half of what are about to come.

Earlier in 2024, RSI NGD Group hinted at potential collaborations to further expand its portfolio, and it’s clear that these new relationships with five-star luxury hotels mark a step in that direction. The management team has also expressed that the company’s growth in the hospitality sector will extend beyond the ECTB program, with future partnerships likely to broaden the scope of benefits for employees.

In the coming months, employees can anticipate the addition of exclusive airport lounges, luxury transportation services, and other premium travel offerings. These enhancements are part of RSI NGD Group’s long-term strategy to continually improve the employee experience, making it a leader in employee satisfaction and retention.
