What is Subsidized hospitality ?
Ans. Subsidized hospitality is not connected with all the hotels in the IBTC Silver list. Therefore if you call the hotels they will say they are not giving a 50% discount. As far as the IBTC Silver card is concerned if the hotels were to offer a 50% discount, you would receive subsidized hospitality since they would have to cut certain essential perks without your knowledge. After all the hotels are not charitable institutions. The average room revenue required for the hotels to run do not allow the hotels to give a 90% discount or a 50% discount.
