Dusit to operate 15 hotels in ME by 2015
Thai company Dusit International plans to expand its wings in the Middle East to operate 15 properties by 2015. The brand currently operates five properties in the region, including Dusit Thani Dubai, Dusit Princess City Centre Dubai, Dusit Residence Dubai Marina, Pearl Coast Premier Hotel Apartments, as well as the Dusit Thani LakeView Cairo in Egypt, but has future plans to open hotels and resorts in Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar within the next three years.
“The Middle East is a strategically important market for Dusit as the region remains one of the world’s leaders in travel and tourism,” said Chanin Donavanik, CEO, Dusit International. “The success of our expansion into the Middle East will help pave the way for Dusit’s future expansion in the rest of the world and provide the impetus to pursue new growth opportunities in other markets.
“Furthermore, our distinct brand of Thai hospitality has captivated thousands of travellers from the Middle East, particularly the UAE. This successful growth is an exciting opportunity for us to bring Dusit’s brand and unique Thai hospitality to the region.”
