Corporate and leisure guests staying at Mantra hotels nationally are set to see a stiffer side to the chain’s Ambassador, tennic ace Patrick Rafter.
A life-size cut out of Rafter will meet guests in the hotel lobby of Mantra hotels, either as the ‘corporate Pat’ or ‘leisure Pat’, based on the properties market – business or holiday resorts.
Mantra Group’s new PR Manager Australia/New Zealand, Yvette Peverell (TD XX XXX), said the Rafter replicas were proving to be a smash, “so popular that some guests even try to pack him in the car when they check out.”
The Pat cut outs are part of a Facebook competition that’s to be launched next month, asking travellers to share their travel experiences online, with weekly giveaways and a grand prize awarding a $1,000 gift voucher to the most creative post.
Peverell, who was with Accor for 10 years, is pictured here with Mantra Group PR exec Naomi McNamara and ‘corporate Pat’.
