Marriot Global Sales announced that it achieved an impressive 20 per cent sales growth in the Middle East and Africa region despite the economic downturn, which has slowed many other sectors. The increase in sales is due to the astounding 42 percent surge in online bookings through the Marriot Global Reservations Center. The positive sales growth demonstrates the resilience of the hospitality sector and its growth potential throughout the Middle East and North Africa region.
Vice-President for Marriot Global Sales in the Middle East and Africa region said their significant increase in sales “epitomizes the innovative way of doing business in at Marriot”.
