Al Meroz Hotel, which opened in Bangkok last November, will attend this year’s ITB Berlin with a view to get travel agents in Europe familiarize with Thailand’s maiden halal property.
Disclosing this, Sanya Saengboon, managing director and general manager of Al Meroz, said the hotel’s target markets would be Muslims residing in France, Germany and Scandinavia, besides Austria and Eastern European nations such as Serbia that register solid Muslim population.
“I expect Europe’s Muslim outbound market to grow,” he said, adding the focus on Europe’s Muslim population formed part of the hotel’s plan to diversify its present Muslim market sources of Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and domestic travellers from Southern Thailand.
Arabian Travel Market and World Travel Market will be among the global travel trade shows that Al Meroz Hotel will be taking part during the year in addition to ITB Berlin.
