Strong interest from the business and leisure sectors and a positive response to DSS offers translate into a brisk summer season
Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates enjoyed a bright summer with occupancy rates topping last year’s figures. For the month of July and the first 15 days of August, occupancy exceeded 92 percent, an increase of more than 4 percent from last year’s figures for the corresponding period.
“We are extremely pleased with our numbers for summer 2009. Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates has enjoyed a good mix of business, leisure and groups, with occupancy rates supported by a large number of return guests from the GCC, who chose to revisit our property after a fantastic experience last summer,” said Holger Schroth, General Manager, Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates.
“Special offers and activities during Dubai Summer Surprises at the hotel and adjoining Ski Dubai and Mall of the Emirates helped position the venue as the ultimate leisure destination and this translated into a very healthy occupancy rate. In 2008, the hotel enjoyed 88 percent occupancy for July and the first half of August, this year that figure exceeded 92 percent,” Schroth added.
While the UAE remains Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates’ biggest market, the hotel welcomed guests from across the GCC (with Saudi Arabia topping the list, followed by Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain), the UK, Central European and CIS markets.
