     Germany, France, Egypt & United Arab Emirates - April 2007

 
 

Germany, France, Egypt & United Arab Emirates Explored
By Leila Fiedler, Managing Director, DMS Destination Marketing Services

During April, Managing Director Leila Fiedler attended the IMEX tradeshow in Frankfurt to meet with DMS and Unique Venues' (DMS' hotels, resorts and venues division) business partners and also to update her knowledge on the latest news in the C&I market.

Leila then flew to Monte Carlo and stayed at the fully renovated The Fairmont Monte Carlo and met with our exceptional DMC - LSO International. Leila spent her days receiving a thorough destination update on this amazing part of Europe.  The Fairmont Monte Carlo has to be one of the best located hotels in Monaco and perched over the Mediterranean Sea. Now fully renovated, it is an ideal luxury hotel for meeting groups in Monaco.

As Monaco and the South of France offer so many unique and wonderful opportunities for incentives group, it is reassuring to know that LSO International's Michael Freeland, Pierre Oudine and their very experienced team, know just where the BEST restaurants are and the BEST kept secrets of the region to suit a variety of budgets! So many Australians just think of Monaco for the Grand Prix, but at any time of the year, the region can offer a variety of activities.

Leila then flew to Cairo where she inspected the two Fairmont Hotels  - The Fairmont Cairo, Nile City and Fairmont Heliopolis - with the former due to open early next year with absolute Nile views and a state of the art function centre. Emeco Travel, DMS' DMC in Egypt, ensured that Leila received an update on all the venues used for incentive programs. One Cairo highlight was the visit to Manyal Palace, right in the heart of Cairo, which is a wonderful venue mostly used for farewell dinners.

Leila then flew to Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea to experience first hand why the reef is considered the best in the world.

Dubai was another destination visited by Leila as DMS is always known for keeping up to date with hot destinations. With the new airline Etihad now flying to Sydney, Leila ensured that she spent two days in Abu Dhabi to gain further knowledge of this up and coming destination.

For any updates of the above countries, Leila would welcome your enquiry.
