JUMEIRAH Group, the global luxury hospitality company and a member of Dubai Holding, recently showcased its 20 luxury hotels, resorts and residences across 11 destinations worldwide during a GCC road show aimed to signify the importance of GCC guests staying in their properties.
The road show which stopped in five cities (Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait City, Doha and Abu Dhabi) from April 27 to May 1, 2013, addressed top travel trade, tour operators, travel agencies and clients.
The Group reported an 11.3 per cent increase in occupancy rates to 71.3 per cnet for the first quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. While the revenue growth of the GCC market business into each region is up 41.2 per cent on last year.
Thanks to Jumeirah doubling the number of hotels it operates around the world, the hospitality group has witnessed impressive revenue growth from its core markets in the first quarter of 2013. Revenue from the GCC market for hotels in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) grew by 20.3 per cent, while in Asia Pacific it soared an impressive 474.3 per cent and in Europe experienced an increase of 108.6 per cent.
“We are experiencing fantastic occupancy rates on a global level, which is contributing to the growing hospitality and tourism sectors, especially in the GCC,” said Christian Pertl, vice president of Sales and Marketing of Jumeirah Group in MEASA region.
“Our hotels’ successful performance can be attributed to the thoughtful and generous service offered to our guests, as well as the quality of our hotels in each destination.”
Jumeirah Group will also showcase its brand promise – Stay Different– and its full range of luxurious and innovative offerings for business and leisure guests. The hospitality group continues to expand globally and regionally, Jumeirah expects to open Jumeirah Messilah Beach Hotel in Kuwait and Jumeirah Bilgah Beach Hotel in late Spring 2013.
