Offering an attractive range of rates, as well as outstanding service and surroundings, which make choosing The Ritz-Carlton a sound business decision, the company is targeting the year 2010 to encourage new meetings, as well as the rebooking of events cancelled in the wake of the recession.

"In the coming year, we are encouraging organizations to realize the value of a truly results-oriented meeting," said Pascal Duchauffour, area vice president - Middle East.

"Our guests are already aware that holding their meeting at The Ritz-Carlton uniquely creates environments that maximize productivity and instills pride in their employees. Our efficiency and excellence in planning and executing these events are second to none, and we intend to focus on delivering the best to each and every corporate group that book with us."
