Travel and entertainment
Cardholders around the world rely on their Visa cards when they travel, spending valuable foreign currency wherever they are and whatever they do.
Visa creates joint promotional programmes aimed at increasing card use and merchant sales. These include cardholder offers with major hotel chains, airlines, car rental companies and other leading organisations in the sector.
In some cases, Visa works with tourist destinations to put together special packages of deals that encourage cardholders to visit.
Airlines and hotels in particular have found that a partnership with one of the world’s best-known payments brands can provide an important competitive edge. We have developed successful alliances with a number of prominent brands in these industries, helping to build their businesses as well as our own.
