“Occupancy levels were up by 3 – 4% than the period of 2011. All our source markets UAE, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, CIS, Europe and other Gulf countries showed a slight increase. This means an acceptance of the concept of Islamic hotel and as a brand Tamani Hotel Marina is gaining momentum,” added Awa.
Along with existing source markets, the hotel is also witnessing an increase in foot fall from new markets such as Chinese, Indian, Australian and South African. Though, the Gulf market still remained the most important and growing source market.
