The hotel staff at the event.
Across the world, Marriott International is celebrating a weeklong festival of community engagement, known as Global Customer Appreciation Week (GCAW).
In Qatar, the Renaissance Doha City Center Hotel hosted its grandest celebration of the year when 400 guests attended a memorable evening in the Al Areen Ballroom. Suppliers and customers were treated to live entertainment by Ipanema Restaurant’s Brazilian band, Tocandira, DJ KinkyD and a funky costume booth for fun photographs. Each of the hotel outlets were represented for personalised interaction and to promote Marriott’s GCAW travel concept.
Activities continued during the week with breakfasts, dinners, client visits, taxi giveaways and cake deliveries for suppliers, customers and guests. The Renaissance Hotel also adorned its West Bay tower with the international Twitter tagline #marriottsaysthx to inspire Doha City to tweet a message of support during the annual week of celebrations.
Alex Kyriakidis, President and Managing Director of Marriott International, Middle East and Africa, said: “As the company grows across the Middle East and Africa, we are acutely aware that the regional hospitality sector is highly competitive; guests are highly sophisticated and have a choice of where to dine, drink and stay. The Global Customer Appreciation Week is simply a chance for us to personally thank our guests and customers, and to give something back to the communities we live and work in.” The Peninsula
