Having served local and global travellers with its distinctive and pioneered services since 1997,  Al Bustan Centre & Residence celebrates its 20th anniversary as the popular hotel apartment among tourists and businessmen in Dubai.

Al Bustan Centre & Residence has catered to 5.7 million guests from across various parts of the globe that equals to 2.3 million room nights getting sold in last two decades.

As part of the 20th anniversary celebration, a press conference was organized announcing the completion of 20 years in the hospitality business. Moussa El Hayek, chief operating officer of Al Bustan Centre & Residence, shared the success story of the property, and his past experiences with the last 20 years with Al Bustan Centre & Residence.

He said: “The success of Al Bustan Centre & Residence is a testament to the people who have been part of it, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal guests and partners for their continued support throughout the years. These are milestones that should be savored all year as we look forward to another 20 years with Al Bustan, and our longtime associates.”

During the Q&A session, the media asked about the hotel apartment's greatest contribution to hospitality. Moussa mentioned that when the property opened in 1997 there weren’t enough room inventories or a single hotel to accommodate big rooms and incentives. However, when Al Bustan Centre & Residence was introduced to the market it has helped the hospitality and tourism industry to accommodate the demand.

On the topic about visa arrival, the COO explained that the property is looking forward to expand in new markets and the foreseen changes in the market will work accordingly to accommodate the change.

As a token of appreciation, El Hayek and Yasser Moussa, executive assistant manager of Al Bustan Centre & Residence, handed a participation trophy to each of the media partners for their continued support of the property, and a raffle draw was organized to give the press vouchers for free stay with breakfast, free one-month health club membership, value meal at the food court and complimentary lunch at Fountain restaurant.

After the press conference, a cake cutting celebration was held with Moussa along with the press. A lavish buffet lunch prepared by the property’s executive chef was served at its popular Fountain Café & Restaurant.

The celebration will continue until April 10 when food bloggers and journalists will have a break-out session with the property’s executive chef who will offer a live cooking session with Food & Travel bloggers of Dubai.

Strategically located in the heart of Dubai, Al Bustan Centre & Residence is just 10 minutes away from Dubai International Airport and 50 meters away from Al Nahda Metro Station, giving the hotel guests easy and convenient access to major shopping malls and tourist attractions in the City. - TradeArabia News Service
