| CORINTHIA HOTELS INTERNATIONAL TARGETS CANADIAN MARKET |
20/01/2003 |
 Corinthia Hotels International has appointed Canadian national Mr David T Batey as its full time representative in Canada, bringing, for the first time, the ever-expanding hotel chain into direct contact with the important North American travel market.
Mr Batey is president and chief executive officer of Going Global Travel Management firm based in Toronto, Canada. He has a vast knowledge and wide experience of the North American travel scene, having held the positions of vice-president Canada with UTELL International, director of sales with Delta Hotels and Resorts, and sales manager Ontario and Western Canada of American based Continental Airlines.
" The Canadian outbound travel market is presently on a high, especially to European and North African destinations, with airline routes constantly on the increase " said Mr Batey enthusiastically. "Corinthia was quick to realise this potential, and I firmly believe that my appointment comes at a very opportune moment, when CHI can fully benefit from this increased demand.".
Congratulating Mr Batey on his appointment, CHI`s group director of sales and mrketing Mr Geoff Andrew emphasised that Corinthia`s move into this hitherto largely untapped market was further proof of its ongoing commitment of strengthening its marketing activities in line with the company`s ambitious expansion plans.
Mr Batey will be looking at substantially increasing CHI`s presence in Canada and North America, with a view to attracting more MICE, Corporate and Leisure business to the company`s 23 four and five star hotels in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Libya, Malta, Portugal, Russia, The Gambia, Togo, Tunisia and Turkey.
The Canadian representation joins similar CHI offices in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, The Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. |
