New Straits Times - Tropicana WindCity & T Privilege Unveiled
Tropicana Corporation Berhad ("Tropicana") celebrated two momentous achievements for the group - the unveiling of Tropicana WindCity in Centing Highlands and the improved T Privilege loyalty programme.
Strategically located at the mid-hill of this tourist hotspot, Tropicana plans to build a holistic township comprising three distinctive masterplans: Tropicana Grandhill, Tropicana Paradise and Tropicana Avalon.
Aligned with its digital transformation journey, Tropicana also unveiled T Privilege, an improved loyalty programme anchored by the Tropicana 360 mobile app.
Launched in 2011, Tropicana Privilege Card was the first property loyalty programme introduced by the group. The all-improved T Privilege aims to offer more benefits to its property purchasers as well as the community across the group's ecosystem. Through T Privilege, Tropicana members can enjoy special rebates to their next property purchase and experience a host of benefits when they dine, play or stay in Tropicana's affiliates, from retail and golf resort to hospitality. Members can leverage on the programme's 65 merchant partners and brands, specially curated for the unveiling with plans to offer more exciting merchants in the future: Dion Tan, group managing director of Tropicana, enthused on how Tropicana has constantly evolved and transformed with the times, from pioneering the first resort-style Tropicana Golf & Country Resort to its recent growth with the vibrant Tropicana WindCity and loyalty programme.
