Kuwait focus for Thrifty

Coinciding with the continued growth in the Kuwaiti tourism market, Thrifty, the region's most revered car rental organisation, has today announced details of major expansion efforts in the emirate which will see the renewal of its contract with Kuwait Airways (KU) - now in its 7th year of success - as well as the opening of several new branches in Kuwait.

Under the agreement with Kuwait Airways, Thrifty offers benefits to members of the 'Oasis Club' (KU frequent flyer programme) which include 500 free airmiles for every car rental contract signed.

In addition to gaining free flights and upgrades on Kuwait Airways, members of the Oasis Club also gain from Thrifty's two strategic - and convenient - outlet locations (Airport & Fahad Al Salem Street), which will shortly see the unveiling of two further branches in Kuwait.

"The Oasis Club turns your flight into a more rewarding experience with generous mileage and preferential treatment throughout," said Mr Khaled Al Tayyar, Dy. Director Marketing & Sales Dept, Kuwait Airways.

"Our successful partnership with Thrifty has allowed our members to enjoy exclusive benefits, ensuring that travel, whether on the road or in the air, becomes a faster, smoother and more efficient service,"


Al Tayyar continued.

Kuwait continues to position itself in the GCC as the ideal getaway destination for the whole family. Changes in immigration and investment regulations, coupled with the recent announcement of more than 20 new hotel projects have helped contribute to the rapid increase in the number of visitors to Kuwait from the GCC and Europe.

"Thrifty Kuwait is committed to ensuring that we have the resources, vehicles, and presence available to accommodate this rise in demand, guaranteeing our customers a fast and efficient service and enabling our excellent staff to meet their every need," concluded Nael S Al-Nasralla, general manager, Thrifty Kuwait.
