Taj Palace Dubai joins DTCM South Africa Roadshow 2005
October 31, 2005

From 1 to 3 November, the five star Taj Palace Hotel Dubai will be joining the DTCM delegation as it promotes Dubai to South Africa. Headed by the Dubai Tourism Commerce and Marketing, the group will be visiting four major South African cities namely Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town to promote tourism and business trade exploration.

South Africa is one of the important feeder markets for Dubai. This is made up by South African companies opening trade offices in Dubai, and, those travelers transiting via Dubai before proceeding to their onward routes.

“This is now our third consecutive year in participating with DTCM to sales blitz Dubai and Taj Palace Hotel to the South African market. Our hotel has proven to be one of the most preferred accommodations given our unique non-alcohol profile. A significant number of South Africans being Muslims welcomes this dry-policy. This makes the Taj Palace Dubai all the more popular with families and business travelers,” commented Helmut Meckelburg, the general manager of Taj Palace Hotel Dubai.

The Taj Palace Hotel Dubai is located right in the heart of the city center, just ten minutes from the Dubai International Airport and walking distance to the major shopping malls and entertainment hub of the city. Known as an ‘oasis in the city center’, the Taj Palace remains one of the most recognised five-star hotel in Dubai for its distinctive ‘dry-concept’ profile, luxurious facilities in accommodation, dining and recreation. Facilities include 249 guest accommodations including two royal suites, 10 executive suites, 147 executive rooms (the largest in Dubai at 61 square meters each with private balcony), 90 spacious apartment units; two rooftop swimming pools; full-service ‘Ayurvedic’ spa and health club. It has four themed restaurants namely Handi, Verdi, Sakura and Topkapi.
