Marriott Bonvoy has appointed Filipino tennis star Alex Eala as the face of its Asia Pacific (excluding China) edition of the global Tennis The World campaign, combining its passion for travel with premium sports experiences for members across the region.
The partnership coincides with Marriott Bonvoy’s exclusive pre-sale for the Australian Open 2027, allowing members to secure tickets before they become available to the general public.
Alex Eala Joins Marriott Bonvoy as Regional Ambassador
One of the fastest-rising names in international tennis, Alex Eala will represent Marriott Bonvoy throughout the Asia Pacific region, excluding China. Her rapid rise on the WTA Tour, growing international fan base and strong connection to Southeast Asia made her a natural choice for the campaign.
“We are thrilled to welcome Alex Eala to the Marriott Bonvoy family as an ambassador for Tennis The World in Asia Pacific, excluding China,” said John Toomey, Chief Commercial Officer, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International.
“Alex embodies so much of what Marriott Bonvoy stands for. She is authentic, inspiring, and proudly connected to the region we serve. Her remarkable rise, culminating in her recent breakthrough WTA title and victories over some of the world’s best players, is a testament to her talent, resilience, and determination. As she continues to make her mark on the global stage, we are excited to support her journey while bringing our members closer to the game through exclusive experiences and unforgettable moments.”
Eala highlighted the important role travel has played throughout her professional career.
“Travel has always been such a meaningful part of my journey as a tennis player. Every tournament brings the opportunity to experience new places, meet new people and create memories that stay with you long after the match is over. I’m excited to partner with Marriott Bonvoy because they share that same belief in the power of travel and meaningful experiences, and I can’t wait to connect with fans through this partnership.”
Marriott Bonvoy Members Receive Early Australian Open 2027 Access
As the Official Hotel Partner of the Australian Open for the sixth consecutive year, Marriott Bonvoy is offering members exclusive early access to Australian Open 2027 tickets.
The tournament will take place from January 11 to January 31, 2027, at Melbourne Park in Australia. Members who receive an exclusive pre-sale code by email can purchase tickets before they go on general sale. The pre-sale period runs until August 12, 2026.
More Tennis Experiences Planned
Marriott Bonvoy said the Australian Open ticket pre-sale marks the beginning of a wider series of member experiences connected to the Tennis The World campaign.
In the coming months, members will have opportunities to enjoy exclusive Marriott Bonvoy Moments, including premium hospitality experiences, special access to tennis events and the chance to meet Alex Eala in person.
The latest initiative reinforces Marriott Bonvoy’s strategy of combining travel with exclusive sporting experiences while bringing members closer to some of the world’s biggest tennis events.
