Calling all luxury travel agents

by ArabianBusiness.com staff writer  on Thursday, 09 October 2008

Some of the region's top travel agents and tour operators are being invited to attend one of three exclusive lunches being organised by The Rocco Forte Collection later this month.

The luxury hotel operator is staging trade lunches at the Sheraton Kuwait Hotel & Towers, Kuwait on October 19; at the Sharq Village & Spa in Doha on October 20; and at the Beach Rotana Hotel & Towers, Abu Dhabi on October 22.

This initiative, staged in partnership with ATN, is part of the RFC's continuing trade awareness campaign in the GCC and will see senior management as well as general managers of several of its 11 European properties attend.
