Tamani Hotel has registered positive growth with significant increase in the number of guests, revenues and room rates. Sherif Elibrashy, director of sales, Tamani Hotel Marina, said: “The number of guests from the Arabian Gulf and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) increased by five per cent this year compared to 2012, while total revenues went up by eight per cent. The room rate has risen by 11% this year compared with 2012. The positive growth reflects accelerating economic growth across all sectors in Dubai, especially tourism and aviation.” The hotel is offering organizing special food promotion every month and the current Russian food festival will run until 8 January. The Russian food promotion is becoming very popular due to the fact that the number of Russian visitors in Dubai is in substantial numbers due to the severe cold wave sweeping Russia.
