The Hilton sales mission kicks off in Saudia Arabia in Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam, moving on to Kuwait and Qatar and concluding in Bahrain. In addition to showcasing the 18-strong Hilton and Conrad portfolio, the sales team will promote and sell new and existing products to the GCC market such as Hilton Mini Breaks, Hilton HHonors Event Bonus and Personalised Online Groups (POGs), a service offering a straightforward way for companies to organise business meetings and events online.

'This annual trip helps us develop our strategic account relationships with our high value accounts, where our effort and focus is effectively used. The sales mission helps us to open new avenues and opportunities for each of the individual hotels, and for the regional sales office. As Hilton Family of Brands, we have very clear sales goals and strategies, and we firmly believe in fostering relationships in each country and region,'

said Raed Rabie, Regional Director of Sales, Hilton Egypt.

'All countries look to tourism to help generate earnings. The GCC commands the largest outbound and inbound travel market in the region, both in terms of volume and value, and we want to increase our market share. We are very keen to attract new tour operators and hopefully loyal guests to our properties,' added Rabie.

The rankings, published in the 2007 survey report by the independent research company, Business Development Research Consultants (BDRC), saw Hilton regain its pole position by achieving the highest score among all hospitality brands.
