Dubai-based Golden Sands Hotel Apartments, part of AA Al Moosa Enterprises, recently held a successful roadshow in Pune, in a bid to attract a bigger share of Indian visitors to the UAE.

Headed by Shazia Ahmed, sales manager, the team visited India together with Orient Tours and met with more than 150 top agents from the city of Pune who are marketing Dubai.

She noted: “We had a very successful event. This show provided us the ideal platform to interact with key agents on one-to-one basis and the results definitely affect the future business. It is good to have Dubai delegates gathered under one roof to give information and answer questions from the agents from India."

An average of 25 per cent to 30pc of the guests recevied by Golden Sands Hotel Apartments monthly come from the Indian market, she said.

“The Indian market is in our top three because we offer good value for their money and because of our ideal location. Thus we are expecting an increased number of guests from this market this year, both from our loyal customers and new guests,” said Mohammed Khoori, general manager.

The Golden Sands brand of hotel apartments was pioneered by the AA Al Moosa Enterprises as the first hotel apartments in Dubai in 1989.

Golden Sands Hotel Apartments offers a wide range of facilities and holidaymakers can benefit from its favourable location close to the city’s exhibition centre and attractions. It is a fully serviced hotel apartment with spacious rooms that can comfortably accommodate two adults and one child less than 12 years. Each room features a queen sized bed, a sofa bed, as well as a kitchenette, living/dining area and bathrooms with shower. - TradeArabia News Service
