We Feel the Pulse of the Hospitality Industry

See you at the ATM in Dubai April 30th to May 3rd!

Team Renard will attend the ATM in Dubai April 30th to May 3rd and hope to see you there or on the rest of our trip. Please see the schedule below.

We are always vigilant and alert to the sign posts of continuous change in the landscape of the hospitality industry.

If the ITB was the compass to what is occurring in Europe this year then the ATM in Dubai will certainly be a “barometer” for predicting the business mood in the UAE and the entire Middle East for 2012.

The UAE is the leader by far in both in Rate and Occupancy in the region.  The countries which are now political stable are much more likely to try to gain their lost market share; through increased financial expenditures. We therefore believe there will be large stands and increased participation at the ATM by Egypt, Bahrain etc.  As well Qatar is expected to accelerate Hotel Development with awe-inspiring architectural as well the completion of the “Pearl” (like the “Palm” in Dubai).

The ATM organizers realized that commencing a trade show midweek lowers attendance (the ITB organizers Take Note!) so as the weekend in the Middle East starts Thursday afternoon, the organizers have wisely commenced the ATM on Monday April 30th. This will bode well for business attendance. So far the ATM has confirmed 2200 exhibiting companies representing 65 destinations and an increase in Trade Visitor pre-registrations.

The ITB & ATM are definitely indicators of what the majority  expect the tone of business to be in 2012 and before making any crucial decisions regarding ones career or choice of  work location one should be taken into consideration  how the show evolves and our comments.

See you at the ATM in Dubai April 30th to May 3rd.

At Renard, customer service is not a "Department" it's an "Attitude"!
