Dnata moves into luxury hotel representation
Thursday, May 08, 2008
Dnata Travel Services has announced a further expansion to its portfolio of luxury products and services with the creation of Luxury Hotels by Dnata. The new division is dedicated to representing the world’s most luxurious hotels in the Middle East and will offer sales, marketing and PR support to raise their profile in the region.
 
Veronica Posteraro, Product Development Manager, Luxury Hotels by Dnata, said: “The Middle East is becoming an increasingly important market for top end luxury hotels around the world. The focus of attention is shifting towards this region, where there is a wealth of travelers for whom the option of staying in luxury surroundings in niche, boutique hotels is more important than the cost.
 
“At the same time, these hotels sometimes have very little experience of this market and that is where Luxury Hotels by Dnata comes in. At Dnata we have unrivalled local knowledge, experience and expertise in the region, together with an unbeatable portfolio of products and services, many of them at the luxury end of the market.
 
“Luxury Hotels by Dnata has very strict guidelines for the type of hotel we will represent, because we want to ensure each hotel is truly special. We are not looking to work with global chains, but rather with niche, boutique hotels, which have 5 stars and less than 300 bedrooms.
 
“We will only represent a maximum of three hotels in any one location and initially we are looking at destinations which are easily accessible from Dubai.
 
“I am confident that Dnata’s expertise in the Middle East travel industry together with some of the most desirable properties in the world will prove to be an unbeatable combination.”

How do you expect luxury travel to perform in times of economic downturn?.

Providers of luxury travel products are going to witness shorter stays by their customers and an increase in seasonality.

People are going to become more value conscious and will opt for those luxury offers that represent a convincing value-for-money proposition. Providers of overpriced services are those to feel the pinch.

Both people paying for their personal trips and firms paying for their top executives' business trips will cut back on travel expenses, thus affecting all luxury travel providers.

It is going to be business as usual. Those people opting for high-end travel products are not going to be affected by the looming crisis.
