Taj Palace Dubai summer occupancy rate rising

"The results of our DTCM road show participation and sales blitzes in GCC and Arab states are starting to bear fruit. Our June hotel occupancy indicated 70% and now in July, the peak time of the summer period, we are looking at achieving our highest occupancy for the whole year. The first fortnight registered an 87% average alone," says Yannick Poupon, General Manager of Taj Palace Hotel Dubai.

Enthusiastic on the popularity of Taj Palace Hotel Dubai to GCC visitors, European and Asian tourists, Yannick Poupon adds; "Initially we have identified the summer period as among one of our busiest times. Our Travel and Tour Operator partners are the ones indicating to us our chances of being preferred by their customers simply because of the profile of our product as well as the flexibility of our summer rates and packages. We have intended always to offer the best to these markets, as they are the ones driving the popularity and success of our hotel".

Taj Palace Dubai is offering a special summer rate for hotel room and apartments. Prices are quoted per room per night basis. The Taj's apartment units are the most saleable amongst the bookers for families and groups. An apartment being fully serviced and fully furnished provides full access to the hotel facilities, restaurants, Health Club and Spa; guests can easily take advantage of its long-term stay rate package. The 2 or 3 bedroom apartments come with a separate maid's room and a reserved parking slot at the basement parking area.

"The staging of the Dubai Summer Surprise helped in promoting Dubai as the choice destination in summer within the GCC. Our participation in the DSS' celebration offers our guests and visitors a peek of what the hotel could offer to make their holiday with us more enjoyable. It has been noted that there has been an increased patronage of both leisure and corporate guests from Europe and the West this year as compared to last year. This alone proves to be a significant improvement in the marketing and promotion of our property by travel agents and tour operators," remarked Kiran Wagle, Director of Sales and Marketing.

From July to August, all guests visiting the Taj Palace Dubai are invited to participate in the summer dining loyalty programme where guests dines in all our 4 restaurants namely Handi, Verdi, Sakura, Topkapi and during Friday Brunch then avail themselves of a free night at any of the hotel's well-appointed Executive Room. The first ten participants who complete the offer will further be awarded with an elegant Citizen watch compliments of the Taj Palace Dubai.
