Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts has achieved occupancies of 90 and 100 percent for its Dubai hotels during Ramadan. The company operates seven properties in the country, reported a press release.
More than 100 UK and Irish tour operators are featuring Dubai in their current brochures. With the UK making up nearly half the total of hotel guests from Europe, and more than 70 weekly flights between the country and Dubai, the country's travelers are growing in importance to the leisure sector.
Many operators are opting to feature two-center packages, giving tourists the opportunity to stay for a few days in Dubai for its shopping and sporting attractions before taking the rest of their holiday on the East Coast.
Le Méridien is a global hotel group with a portfolio of more than 140 luxury and upscale hotels in 55 countries worldwide. The majority of its properties are located in the world's top cities and resorts throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. The company also enjoys a strategic alliance with JAL-owned Nikko Hotels, providing loyal guests access to an additional 42 properties around the world.
Headquartered in London, Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts is owned by Nomura International and managed by Terra Firma Capital Partners. — (menareport.com)
