Prepared for Discovery Hotel Management
Discovery Hotel Management

Three hotels, three championship courses, one partnership.

Discovery Hotel Management runs one of the strongest golf-relevant portfolios in Portugal: Praia Verde and the three Quinta courses in the eastern Algarve, The Patio Suite Hotel in Albufeira, and the Crowne Plaza Caparica on the Lisbon coast. This proposal puts all six properties in front of travelling UK golfers for five thousand pounds, or any single property for one thousand.

The opportunity

The eastern Algarve is Portugal’s quiet corner. DHM owns the pieces that matter.

UK golfers default to Vilamoura and Quinta do Lago when they think Algarve. Yet the eastern Algarve holds three of the region’s best-conditioned courses, all under DHM management, with Praia Verde twenty minutes away as the boutique base. Add Albufeira apartment stock for groups and a Lisbon-coast resort hotel with golf on site, and DHM has a portfolio that covers three distinct trip types. The job of this partnership is to package those trips and put them on UK shortlists: dedicated landing pages on golftravelpeople.com, paid activation aimed at travelling golfers, and solus email to the GTP database.

What we feature

What we feature.

Six properties, three natural pairings: the Quinta courses with Praia Verde as the base, The Patio Suite for Albufeira groups, and the Crowne Plaza Caparica for golfers who want Lisbon on the same trip.

        <div class=Hotel, eastern Algarve

        <div class=Hotel, Albufeira

The Patio Suite Hotel

Crowne Plaza Caparica Lisbon

227 rooms and suites minutes from the beach and 15 km from central Lisbon, with an excellent choice of championship golf courses nearby.

Quinta do Vale <em>Golf Club</em>” /></div>
        <div class=Course, eastern Algarve

Quinta do Vale Golf Club

Seve Ballesteros championship design above the Guadiana: six par 5s, six par 4s, six par 3s. A proper test.

Quinta da Ria <em>Golf Club</em>” /></div>
        <div class=Course, eastern Algarve

Quinta da Ria Golf Club

Par 72 inside the Ria Formosa Natural Park, five lakes and sea views from every hole. The picturesque one.

Quinta de Cima <em>Golf Club</em>” /></div>
        <div class=Course, eastern Algarve

Quinta de Cima Golf Club

Ria’s tougher sister: doglegs both ways, water on four holes, century-old olive and carob trees. The challenge.

The investment

Five thousand pounds, five channels.

Two ways to structure it

The full collection, or property by property.

The £5,000 figure covers all 6 properties under one campaign umbrella. If you would rather start smaller, any property can be taken individually at £1,000 each and the rest added later.

Option one: the full collection

All 6 properties for £5,000. Every hotel and course gets its own feature on the landing page, the paid activation runs across the whole portfolio, and the reporting rolls up to one DHM dashboard. Taken individually the six would come to £6,000, so the collection price saves £1,000.

Investment
£5,000 total, all 6 properties.
Coverage
One collection landing page plus a feature for every property, single campaign umbrella.
Reporting
One quarterly dashboard across the portfolio, enquiries attributed per property.

Option two: per property

Choose any of the 6 properties at £1,000 each. Each one gets the same five-channel structure, scaled to the single property: its own page, its own activation, its own reporting line. Add further properties at any point in the twelve months.

Investment
£1,000 per property, your choice of which.
Coverage
Dedicated page and activation for each property taken.
Reporting
Per-property performance reporting, quarterly.
Bonus, included

One competition prize, folded into the partnership.

As part of the agreement, the partnership includes a competition prize from DHM: a stay and play package, a green fee voucher, or similar. GTP runs the competition across social and the database. Drives entries, drives database growth, drives one direct booking.

What it looks like

A single competition campaign tied to your brand. Mechanic and channel decided together. The prize is supplied by DHM, the entries and database growth go to GTP and are tagged for partner reporting.

Prize
Stay and play package, green fee voucher, or similar (your choice).
Channels
Social media plus the GTP database.
Reporting
Entry count, database additions, winner journey.
