THAI hospitality company Dusit International is reaching into the Middle East with a new regional sales office in Riyadh.
Through its newly minted presence there, Dusit aims to build on a growing customer base in the region while providing support to its recent joint venture agreement with Dyar Hotels and Resorts.
Saudi Arabia is the top source market from the Gulf Cooperation Council for Dusit’s properties in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Cairo and the Maldives.
Amr Mekkawi has been appointed as director of sales, Saudi Arabia and will run the new office, driving business and raising awareness of Dusit’s global portfolio among the country’s travelling population.
“With Dusit focusing on expansion in the Middle East and Africa, and in light of the projects recently announced, we have decided it is an opportune time to have a Dusit representative based in Riyadh,” said Sameh Shawkat, Dusit International’s regional director of sales and marketing – Middle East and Africa.
