Hertz Kuwait has reported a 40 per cent increase in Kuwaiti travellers making reservations for business and leisure trips abroad during the nine months of 2004 compared to the same period last year. “It seems Kuwaitis have taken to travelling again and we are pleased many of them are choosing Hertz as their travel partner,” said Roxana Anisia, Rental Sales Manager, Hertz Kuwait.
Germany proved to be the most popular destination for Hertz Kuwait customers, accounting for 18 per cent of all bookings. The USA and Switzerland generated respectively 16 and 15 per cent of bookings. The UK ranks fourth in popularity with 14 per cent of Hertz Kuwait rentals. Most European reservations were generated in summer, as travellers were taking trips, up to two months long, to their favourite destinations.
Dubai and Lebanon are the two most-preferred Middle East destinations for Hertz Kuwait renters, with short-term breaks generating the largest volume. (menareport.com)
