COMING UP NEXT:
LOOKING TO THE
FUTURE
Welcome to issue number three
of Marriott Buzz … and, yes, we
are buzzing! A new year, new
challenges, new targets, fresh
dreams and hopes for the future.
And while we look forward to the
early weeks of 2015, the romance of
Valentine’s Day and the celebrations
of Ireland’s St Patrick, there is also
time to reflect on the events and
people that played such a huge part
in our lives as 2014 drew to a close.
There were so many success stories
which we were proud to play a part
in; on his recent visit to Cairo, Alex
Kyriakidis, President and Managing
Director, Middle East & Africa, for
Marriott International, Inc., launched
#Activ8Egypt. This campaign
emphasizes our commitment to
work with partners to revive tourism
to Egypt.
The Cairo Marriott is the ideal
venue for major events that need
that ‘touch of class’ which is why
renowned international jewellery
designer Azza Fahmy chose our
hotel for the 45th anniversary
celebration of her brand.
Azza’s jewellery reflects so much
of Egypt’s heritage and in this
issue of Buzz we also reflect on the
extraordinary contribution of Khedive
Ismail, the father of modern Egypt.
I am proud that at the Cairo
Marriott we are fully aware of the
role we are privileged to play in
the local community and over the
closing weeks of 2014 we had the
chance to contribute.
Our Global Customer Appreciation
Week was part of that commitment,
giving us the chance to say ‘thank
you’ to all our customers across
the country. During October we
supported Breast Cancer awareness
initiatives and we also joined with
the Egyptian Clothing Bank to help
the needy in our society.
We have much to celebrate and much
to look forward to in our changing
times. But some things don’t change,
some things you can always rely
on … so here at the Cairo Marriott
you can count on us for superb
accommodation, the finest cuisine
and service with a smile to match.
We always look forward to
welcoming you in 2015.
