Aston Hotels & Resorts was recently awarded an Editor's Pick in the 2009 TravelAge West's WAVE Awards for "Best Agent Incentive Program by a Hotel Company."

Travel agents praised Aston Hotels & Resorts' support programs, including STARs Online, the company's most popular agent incentive program. Because it's Web-based, an agent has unlimited account access and can easily submit bookings, track points, rewards and cash back bonuses, and redeem points for reward cards or complimentary stays at Aston properties.

Throughout the year, seasonal cash bonuses are also available to agents. Until March 31, retail travel agents who book new stays for travel through June 30, 2009 with a minimum of five consecutive nights at a single Aston Hotels & Resorts property can earn a double cash back bonus up to $100 per booking.

The Editor's Picks are selected by TravelAge West's entire editorial team. Review includes product analysis, a survey of a select group of travel agents and online research.

Editor's Picks recipients will be celebrated at the WAVE Awards gala on June 4 in Los Angeles, where the readers' choice winners will be announced as well.

Aston is an operating segment of Interval Leisure Group, Inc., a global provider of membership vacation and leisure services in the hospitality industry.
