Indian hospitality chain Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces held a multi-city sales mission in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, signifying its interest in expansion in the region.

The events were hosted in Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah and Abu Dhabi.

The first leg of the sales mission kick started with an evening of networking at the glamourous Opera Ballroom at Taj Dubai on September 25. Hosted by Chinmai Sharma, chief revenue officer, Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palaces, the elegant dinner event had senior management from various Taj properties around the globe, key media and select travel partners in attendance.

Speaking at the event, Chinmai expressed the group’s interest in growing their footprint in the region with two hotels already in the pipeline. This includes a 207-key hotel located at Jumeirah Lake Towers in Dubai and a 325-key Resort and Spa located on The Palm, Dubai.

Taj Dubai is the iconic group’s first luxury property in the Middle East. Taj Dubai’s 296 lavish rooms are a mix of rich Indian artistry and traditional influences, suffused with a cool, vibrant twist. An intoxicating fusion of extravagance, heritage and contemporary style, Taj Dubai occupies a prime location, a mere five minutes from the famed Downtown area with Burj Khalifa  and The Dubai Mall and just 15 km away from Dubai International Airport, making this one of the most coveted locations for business travellers and tourists alike. - TradeArabia News Service
