UNITED ARAB EMIRATES Hilton Worldwide has opened national sales offices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai to support the company’s nine hotels across the UAE.
The new offices bring together the sales teams from all hotels in the country into one cohesive team of more than 40 people. The team will look after a larger number of source markets, more easily identifying cross-selling opportunities.
“By joining forces, we’ve created a team of professionals who will be better placed to build new relationships and manage our customer accounts.” says Victor Louis, regional director of sales for the Arabian Peninsula and Indian Ocean. “This new organization allows us to be as efficient and effective as possible, to deliver the best service possible to our customers and to explain why we offer more than the competition.”
Under the new structure, the Abu Dhabi sales office will cover all outbound business from Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to the rest of the UAE, while the Dubai sales office will concentrate on the Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah markets.
Hilton’s nine UAE hotels are: Hilton Abu Dhabi, Hilton Baynunah, Hilton Corniche Hotel Apartments, Hilton Al Ain, Hilton Dubai Creek, Hilton Dubai Jumeirah Resort, Hilton Fujairah Resort, Hilton Ras Al Khaimah and Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa. The company has five additional hotels under development in the UAE, including Conrad Dubai and Doubletree by Hilton Ras Al Khaimah—the first properties under their respective brands in the emirates.
