  • PRESS RELEASE

Dollar Rent A Car, a subsidiary of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc, in conjunction with Skywards and Golden Sands Hotel Apart ments, is offering an unbeatable summer promotion to holiday makers and business travelers to Dubai.

Individuals will get a studio apartment at the Golden Sands Dubai Hotel Apartments, a Mitsubishi Lancer, and 1500 Skywards miles. This promotion will run until 20 September 2009.

"We want to encourage visitors to the country. As people in the region are rethinking and canceling their travel plans abroad due to financial management and recent travel restrictions, we see Dubai as the perfect alternative. Dubai has always been one of the most famous and preferred tourism destinations,"


said Marwan Al Mulla, General Manager, Dollar Rent A Car U.A.E.

"Golden Sands Dubai is located in the heart of the city, with close accessibility to shopping, commercial & leisure districts, which includes the gold souq, market place, creek, museum, and the historical Diving and Heritage Village," said Mohammed Khoori, General Manager, Golden Sands Hotel Apartments.

hen venturing out further - either to the recent attractions further away or a more scenic Emirate, visitors can use the reliable, quality-serviced Mitsubishi Lancer as part of the promotion.

The offer will likely appeal to the high number of regional and foreign business travelers looking for investment opportunities and business development in the country. "We have seen volumes of flight passengers to the country increasing, especially with the drop in ticket prices, and expect to attract a number of visitors from the strong membership base of Skywards," said Al Mulla.

"We believe in the buoyancy of the market and strongly urge that businesses adopt their strategies and offerings in accordance with the public needs - such as mid-sized cars and luxury serviced apartments as an alternative to lavish cars and hotels," continued Al Mulla.

"With the perks of this deal covering air travel, accommodation and inner city travel, we believe that this strategy will boost consumer confidence and travel to the country."
