Marriott Global Sales reports 18% increase in sales in 2007 for Middle East, Africa & Subcontinent
Dubai, May 6, 2008: The Marriott Global Sales Office has announced that it had registered an 18 per cent growth in sales for 2007 across the Middle East, Africa and the Subcontinent. The spurt in sales was attributed to the growing numbers in the business transient and MICE categories.
The impressive growth in 2007 was driven by a surge in intra-regional travel in the Business Transient as well as the MICE categories. Changing patterns of consumer behaviour was yet another factor that fuelled higher revenues during the year.
In his comments on the impressive sales results, Mr. Samir Daqqaq, Vice-President, Marriott Global Sales – Middle East & Africa, said: “The region’s hospitality segment is going through a highly buoyant phase. Regional business hubs like Dubai, Cairo, Doha and Bahrain have contributed significantly towards this trend. The leisure centres, traditionally led by Egypt and closely followed by Dubai, have also witnessed steady demand. Jordan, particularly Petra, has also evinced renewed interest.”
He added that the robust growth in the MICE category in the region has helped push Marriott’s sales. “The trend is especially distinct in the UAE and Saudi Arabia market, where MICE solutions are in high demand. As expected, our Marriott Executive Apartments and Courtyard brands in the Middle East are patronized by project managers associated with the construction and real estate industries,” he said.
