Dubai-based luxury international hospitality management group, Jumeirah, has been named ‘Best Leisure Hotel Chain’ at the 2008 Travel Weekly Globe Awards ceremony.
"We are delighted and proud to have been acknowledged by the UK travel trade community as the top leisure chain in the world," commented Derek Picot, Regional General Manager for the Jumeirah Group Europe .
"We are extremely thankful of the trust and confidence placed upon us by the travel agent community and we look forward to continue providing our guests with a true ‘Stay Different’ experience as we expand throughout the world."
The award adds to the luxury group’s growing collection of prestigious accolades and is already their fifth of 2008.
The Jumeirah Group was recently named 'Best Middle Eastern Hotel Chain' and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel received the 'Best Hotel in the Middle East' award from Business Traveller (Germany), while the American magazine Global Traveler voted Jumeirah 'Best Hotel Chain in the Middle East' for the second consecutive year.
The British Association of Hospitality Accountants (BAHA) also awarded Jumeirah with the title of 'Corporate Employer of the Year 2007' earlier in the month.
The Travel Weekly Globe Awards is one of the most prestigious annual award ceremonies in the global travel industry. Each year, a panel of travel agents help to choose the travel industry’s high flyers, strongest performers and hottest brands .
