Soumitra Sinha, marketing manager, Thrifty UAE, was part of a Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) delegation, composed of key players from the tourism and service industries who toured the GCC promoting the month-long festival to interested parties from the hospitality and travel trade industry by highlighting their various offerings in the region and special plans for DSF.
'The roadshow provided Thrifty with the ideal platform to showcase the attractive car rental packages we have available for DSF 2005. Our special offer which awards customers an extra day free for every 2-day rental is especially suited for GCC families who plan to visit Dubai at the weekend to enjoy the magic of DSF,' said Rahul Singh, General Manager, Thrifty Car Rental.
According to figures released by the organizing committee, over 3.2 million visitors are expected to attend this year's festival.
'Attracting visitors from key target markets is of vital importance to the overall success of this world renowned event. I am confident that we can all look forward to another successful DSF, one that is bigger and better than ever before,' added Singh.
One of the fastest-growing organizations within the Dollar Thrifty Middle East franchise network, Thrifty UAE enjoys a superb reputation in the region as the safest, most reliable and cost-effective car rental company.
'Thrifty's significant presence in the UAE and compelling value proposition set it apart from other rental car agencies. This will be all the more evident during DSF 2005, where we have spared no expense and worked tirelessly to ensure that we are prepared to welcome the world to Dubai,' added Sam Eltibi, regional director, MENA, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.
