Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader and innovator in the consumer electronics and digital technology industries, today announced its participation for the first time at Hotel Show 2008 in Dubai, UAE. Samsung’s presence is a result of extensive research into the specific needs of the hospitality industry, which has allowed Samsung to incorporate its expertise in advanced technologies from other sectors into its hospitality product offering.
The Middle East hospitality industry is experiencing unprecedented dynamic growth and experts agree that this growth is sustainable for the foreseeable future thanks in part to the number of property developments across the region.
