It’s a sign of rebellion, passion, sincerity and humanitarianism. Those born in a Tiger year are thought to possess all of these traits, and as we start a new page in the Chinese Lunar Calendar—which officially begins on February 14th—it is indeed time for the Tiger.

There are several interpretations of the Legend of the 12 Animals, which gives rise to the correlation of the year with an animal. Some say that the creatures of Earth became quarrelsome many years ago, and the Chinese god Jade Emperor decided to give each creature a year of its own. A race was ordered to determine which animal had which year, and twelve animals were chosen to participate. Cunning and sly, the Rat won the race, followed by the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog and finally the Pig.

Others say that during the celebration of the Chinese New Year many years ago, Buddha called upon all the creatures of the land to bid him farewell before he departed the earth. To his disappointment, only 12 animals came forth. The first to arrive was the charming rat, who they say nimbly bounced off the Ox to beat him by a nose. The hard working and plodding Ox was close behind, followed by the charismatic Tiger and the rest of the animals. Buddha then declared that he would reward the animals by naming a year after each of them, and those born on that year would possess the qualities of the reigning animal.

Notable “Tigers” include American actress Marilyn Monroe, German musician Ludwig Van Beethoven, Queen Elizabeth II of England, and Hollywood star Leonardo diCaprio.

Appointment is First of Its Kind for Hospitality Industry

10 March, 2010 – W Hotels Worldwide, the hotel category buster and industry innovator, announced an industry first with the appointment of international stylist and fashion authority Amanda Ross as the brand’s first ever Global Fashion Director.  For more than 10 years, W has continually broken new ground through innovative and first-of-its-kind fashion initiatives and programs.  As W Hotels continues to grow globally, on track to increase its footprint to more than 50 hotels by 2011, Ross will serve as a strategic fashion advisor to the brand, providing global insight and guidance for an integrated, cutting-edge approach to fashion.  A respected industry veteran, Ross will provide an authentic point of view for W, fostering industry relationships and identifying partnerships and collaborations that will make W Hotels a credible player within the fashion industry.  She will also work closely with W Hotels The Store, W’s twist on the traditional hotel gift shop, including Global Glam, a newly launched fashion
and accessories collection created exclusively for W by established and emerging designers inspired by the design of W’s latest hotels. 

“Fashion is an extension of design, one of the key differentiators for W Hotels,” said Eva Ziegler, Global Brand Leader, W Hotels Worldwide and Le Méridien. “As fashion is ever-changing and evolving on a seasonal basis, it appeals to our guests who are always seeking the latest, newest, hippest, and Amanda, with her extensive industry experience, will guide us in further integrating fashion into our hotels in credible ways that positively affect the guest experience.”

Ross began her multi-faceted career more than 20 years ago at Condé Nast under the guidance of renowned Art Director Alexander Liberman and went on to serve as Market Director for Harper’s Bazaar, where she worked with the world’s foremost fashion designers and helped to identify and nurture emerging talent. Today, she combines extensive editorial work (Harper’s Bazaar, Russian L’Officiel, Town & Country) with international style consulting for film, television and retail interiors. Her film and television credits include Lipstick Jungle (Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, Lindsay Price) and It’s Complicated (Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin).  Ross also styles personal clients, including celebrities such as Mariska Hargitay, Julianna Margulies, Vera Farmiga, Kim Raver, and Lindsay Price. Over the years, she has consulted for fashion houses, including Dennis Basso, Elie Tahari, Ashleigh Verrier and Allegra Hicks as well as advertising campaigns for Maybelline, NBC and Volkswagen.

“I am so honored and excited to have been chosen for this first-of-its-kind position,” said Ross. “I share in W’s passion for fashion and look forward to using my years of editorial, styling and consulting experience to help W further connect the dots between fashion and hotels.” 

The announcement of Ross comes on the heels of W’s appointment last September of Michaelangelo L’Acqua as the brand’s Global Music Director.  Both passions of W, these two newly created roles will work closely together to provide an integrated global point of view on fashion and music, further establishing W as an authority in both industries.

Ross was introduced as W Hotels’ Global Fashion Director during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, which kicked off Thursday 11th February in New York where the brand was hosting the 13th season of its Backstage VIP Lounge at Bryant Park.  The W Hotels Arrivals Lounge designed by Slade Architecture and inspired by the experience of arriving to a new destination, is a contemporary cool interpretation on an airport baggage claim that brings to life W’s next destinations, including hotels and retreats in Bali, London, Paris, Koh Samui and St. Petersburg.  The Arrivals Lounge will provide an escape for celebrities, designers, and fashion’s elite from the hustle and bustle of backstage, offering cocktails and small bites while high-profile DJs, selected by L’Acqua, spin the hottest tracks from around the world. When she isn’t sitting runway-side, the Arrivals Lounge will serve as Ross’s home base during Fashion Week, where she will meet and greet fashion insiders from across the globe.

W Hotels has long been engaged in the world of fashion and was the first to link hotels with fashion when it launched the Backstage VIP Lounge at Bryant Park 12 seasons ago.  In 2009, W for the first time had a presence at Paris Fashion Week in anticipation of the soon to open W Paris – Opera in early 2011.  Over the years, W has collaborated with some of fashion’s most elite, including Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, and Gwen Stefani. Last fall, W formed an exclusive partnership with renowned department store Barneys New York and its creative director Simon Doonan to create an exclusive window display at W New York – Union Square. W has also redefined traditional hotel retailing with the creation of W Hotels The Store, a trendsetting collection of boutique stores that sell designer apparel, jewelry, accessories, home and design items in W Hotels around the world and online. Recently, W Hotels The Store unveiled Global Glam, another industry first, that is inspired by the design of W’s newest hotels and
retreats. The first Global Glam collection (Fall/Winter 2010) featured exclusive designs for W by Alex and Ani, Foley + Corrina, and Lauren Merkin, while the second Global Glam collection, debuting in stores April 2010, will feature pieces from Rebecca Minkoff, DANNIJO, Dolce Vita and Yumi Kim, among others.

Elaf Group of Companies, a business organisation serving the Saudi Arabian travel, tourism and hotel industries, has pointed out that improving packages, services and products from key industry players are complementing the boom in domestic tourism in the country.

Elaf Group revealed that innovative customer-centric services such as Garuda airlines’ dedicated call centre in Jeddah, Elaf’s special packages for corporate and individual clients, and premium offerings across its chain of hotels in Jeddah, Makkah and Al Madina, which collectively offer over 2,300 rooms, have helped open new business possibilities as reflected by the steadily increasing traffic of domestic tourists being entertained by the Group.

Ziyad Bin Mahfouz, President, Elaf Group of Companies, said: “We are looking at expanding our portfolio to include four new hotels by 2012 as we aim to accommodate the steadily growing number of tourists in key travel destinations across KSA. The latest trends in domestic tourism are certainly making it more conducive and attractive for Saudi nationals and residents to travel within the country. With the tourism authority increasingly promoting historical sites and the KSA’s cultural heritage, people are getting a lot more excited to explore new destinations within the country, particularly the sites that are being added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.”

“Elaf Group’s strategy is to complement the growing focus on domestic tourism by developing dedicated services and product offerings that add value to the travel experience of domestic tourists. Moreover, Elaf Group conducts its business and investment activities in accordance with the Shariah law, which gives us greater leverage to cater to the distinct requirements of local travellers,” added Bin Mahfouz.

“Elaf Group provides a comprehensive portfolio of integrated value offerings that include customised travel packages, boarding passes, visit visa issuance, conventions and conferences, charter flights, international driving license issuance, catering, contract furnishings, travellers’ transportation, and even landing arrangements and permissions. With such a potent combination of services and value-added offerings, we are strongly positioned to support the efforts of the higher authorities to consolidate the country’s tourism industry and target a wider range of high-yield niche markets,” concluded Bin Mahfouz.

Cristal Hotels and Resorts to open new hotels in the country within the year

March 7, 2010

Qatar’s tourism sector is expected to sustain its 6 per cent annual revenue growth rate in 2010, and will particularly continue to focus on inbound travel being generated by the rapidly expanding local meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) segment. The more than 180 major events scheduled in Qatar this year are expected to further increase demand for hotel rooms, mirroring the solid 25 per cent increase in room space recorded in 2009.

Cristal Hotels and Resorts, one of the fastest-growing hotel chains in Abu Dhabi, has announced that it plans to open new hotels in Qatar to capitalize on the country’s strong tourism and hospitality markets. The move will form part of a broader and aggressive expansion across the Middle East. Cristal recently announced that it achieved one of the highest month-to-date occupancy rates among Abu Dhabi’s 4-star and 5-star hotels, scoring 84 per cent average occupancy in January 2010. It has been able to emerge as one of Abu Dhabi’s top hospitality companies less than a year after its opening in July of 2009.

“Abu Dhabi and Qatar have been able to grow their hospitality and tourism industries despite the downturn. They also both rely heavily on MICE visits to generate a significant portion of local travel and tourism revenue. Their similarities will enable us to apply most of the growth strategies we adopted in Abu Dhabi and gain the same measures of success within Qatar’s thriving travel and hotel markets,” said Peter Blackburn, General Manager, Cristal Hotel Abu Dhabi.

Upcoming developments that will further solidify Qatar’s business travel niche are the opening of the country’s new international airport by mid next year; the launching of the Doha Convention Centre and Towers in 2012; and the completion of an AED 91.8 billion metro within five years. Aside from its MICE appeal, Qatar also offers excellent leisure and lifestyle destinations. Some attractions include Souq Waqif, a downtown Doha souk rebuilt to look like its ancient predecessors; the nearby Museum of Islamic Art; and the 15-km Khor al Adaid (‘Inland Sea’) lake near the southern coast.

Cristal Hotels and Resorts was able to achieve an average Abu Dhabi occupancy level of 78 per cent from August 31 to December 31, 2009, outperforming other 5-star hotels despite being only a few months into operation. Its 4-star Abu Dhabi Hotel offers 192 rooms and suites equipped with high-speed internet, an IDD interactive telephone with voice mail; multi-purpose meeting and conference rooms and state-of-the-art audio visual equipment; and other premium facilities such as an exclusive spa, an in-door pool and a beauty salon.

From golden necklaces to flat screen TVs, Dubai Shopping Festival is without a doubt theworld’s premier shopping event of the year.  Now in its 15th year, DSF 2010 promises to be one of the biggest and grandest in history!  As the festival kicks off, more details are starting to roll in as excitement spreads throughout the city.

It has been announced for instance, that DSF 2010 will be raffling off an incredible 80 cars and Dhs 3 million in cash over the festival period, running from January 28 to February 28.  More than 6,000 retail outlets and nearly 50 malls and shopping centers are estimated to be taking part in the exceptional promotions.  According to event organizers, over 150 international and regional events are being held in the UAE over this period, with activities concentrated in areas like Al Seef, Dhiyafah and Rigga.  Eager consumers are flying in from all corners of the world, and hotels are benefitting from the influx of tourists.

Around three million visitors attended DSF 2009, spending a collective total of nearly Dhs 10 billion!  Both of those numbers were positive gains compared to the year before, and there is no reason to expect a slowdown in 2010.

If you haven’t gone already, it’s time to take advantage of the best deals in the UAE!
