"Participating hotels represent the ultimate in comfort, a tradition of elegance and refined menus created by award-winning chefs," commented Mohamed Taher, director sales and marketing Middle East at Accor. "As a result we expect that our Exclusive Summer Promotion will appeal strongly to the requirements of Middle East guests, offering them fantastic value across our luxury and mid-scale hotels and resorts," Taher said. "Figures gust released by the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) show that last year international tourist arrivals topped the 700 million mark for the first time, a 3.1 per cent increase despite all the grim expectations and pessimistic debate about the industry's crisis," he said. "Even more significant is the fact that the WTO figures reflect only part of world tourism and do not include domestic markets, a sector which has grown hugely post-September 11, especially here in the Middle East," Taher added.
