Abu Dhabi National Hotels nominated in 'Best Price Value Hotel' category

The winners will be announced on the night of the 6th at a gala dinner at Al Bustan Rotana Hotel, Dubai, where more than 500 top industry figures will meet. "The competition this year in the 17 different categories is a testament to the tremendous development and growth the travel and tourism industry has been witnessing over the years in the U.A.E. and in the Middle East," commented Mr. Manfred P. Simons, Director of Hotel Operations.

The MENA Travel Awards 2004 will be presented to recognise top industry organisations, which have shown skill, creativity, ingenuity and success in the Middle East & North Africa's growing travel industry. It is a real opportunity to receive meaningful recognition from guests and customers in the Travel & Hospitality Industry and to stimulate the competitive spirit to reach higher levels of brilliances within the region.

Al Diar Sands Hotel & Al Diar Siji Hotel are among the six nominated hopefuls representing the category' "Best Price Value Hotel" out of which the top three winners (Platinum, Gold and Silver) will be determined. Travel Awards will be presented to a total of 53 winners of the travel and hospitality industry. Three Finalists, from each of the 17 categories will be announced, and the evening promises to be memorable and the beginning of a vitalizing annual event.

"To be nominated for this innovative award is really great news and a true honour," added Mr. Simons. "It demonstrates recognition for the constant efforts within Abu Dhabi National Hotels to anticipate and meet our guests expectations."

The Awards are of great significance and, as such, demand proper measurement. The judges will be the end-users and travel trade professionals, who will be asked to pay particular attention to the standards of the products they are evaluating.
