apartment sector following the recession and how the various operators in different
global regions are dealing with it. One of the conclusions of the report is, that
the global serviced apartment sector is positive about the future of the industry.

CITY FOCUS MARCH 2010 - DUBAI (UAE)
Dubai is one of the 7 Emirates making up the United Arab Emirates. It
is located South of the Persian Gulf, on the Arabian Peninsula. Dubai has a population
of around 2.7 million inhabitants.
In recent years Dubai has emerged as the city where everything was possible.
They created the biggest shopping mall, a ski-ing piste in the desert and a
complete set of manmade islands reflecting the countries of the world, in the
sea called The World. And only recently the tallest occupied freestanding building
in the world was completed, the Burj Khalifa Building at 828 m.
The economic crisis has cost Dubai dearly, but tourism remains buoyant,
because many people want to see for themselves the extravaganzes which have
been created.
The Apartment Service currently offers 55 serviced apartments in Dubai, ranging from 3 star accommodation to top
luxury five and even six star properties. Most of these properties can be easily
booked online via our website at the best possible rates available. Just search
for Dubai and put in the dates of your intended stay and number of people travelling
and a list of available apartments will appear.
Alternatively contact us by email res@apartment.co.uk or call +44(0)20-89441444
for personal assistance.

The Business Travel & Meetings Show 2010 - Earls Court
A round up
This year the BTMS was attended by our Sales and Reservations team as
well as Marketing and IT. It was great that we had all departments involved
in the BTMS this year. When speaking with visitors it was valuable that we
had someone there to represent each department and answer specific questions.
There were various companies enquiring about rates and availability for
the 2012 Olympics and a number of new and existing clients that stopped by our stand
to discuss the concept of serviced apartments. Although this is an established
service, a lot of people are still trying to get their head around this concept
but agreed that it makes more sense to use a serviced apartment, especially for
a longer stay. It was also an exciting time for us as we were able to launch
our GDS connectivity which will enable our clients to book apartments online
in real time at the best available rates.
We have also launched the Global Serviced Apartment Industry Report 2010,
a follow up to the 2008 edition. For more information and to order your copy
of this invaluable document on the worldwide serviced apartment/extended
stay and corporate housing sector, please visit
our website.
The show was well attended and there was a steady stream of visitors
to our stand throughout both days.
