(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - February 1st, 2015 - The Grand Millennium Dubai will be wooing the European travel market this March when Director of Sales, Mr Shadi Karameh, will head a team taking part in the ITB Berlin travel exhibition as part of the Dubai stand in the UAE pavilion.

The show is the premier trade and consumer travel event for Germany and surrounding countries, attracting more than 10,000 exhibitors, 20,000 convention visitors, 110,000 travel trade professionals and an estimated 50,000 potential travellers – and is an essential platform for sales and promotion, according to Mr Karameh.

“According to ITB World Travel Trends Report, the European market continues to expand, with a three per cent rise in overseas trips in 2013 and five per cent during the first eight months of 2014 – with city breaks up 10 per cent,” he said.  “Europe is by far the largest market worldwide in volume, long haul travel from the continent is up, city breaks are becoming more popular and winter sun is also growing in popularity, all of which represent good opportunities for us at the Grand Millennium Dubai.”

The hotel, which offers deluxe value-priced accommodation including apartment options, is ideally suited for both business and leisure visitors, with easy access to beach, golf and shopping facilities, said General Manager, Peter Mansourian.

“Although Dubai is on target to achieve 20 million visitors by 2020 with airlines such as Emirates and flydubai launching up new routes and Terminal 4 set to open this year at Dubai International Airport, every hotel has to face up to new competition given the fact that the number of rooms in the city is set to double within six years,” he said.

“By sourcing new contacts and maintaining our links with key travel partners in Europe, as well as looking to new markets such as China, Russia, Africa and South America, the Grand Millennium will remain a preferred option in Dubai for both first-time and repeat visitors.”
