Published

on

Lily Hotels has reinforced the brand presence of its resorts in the Middle Eastern markets with the appointment of Claviger (Middle East), a luxury hospitality sales consultant dedicated for the Middle East.

Lily Hotels is dedicated to creating high-value, sophisticated and sustainable holidays, and Claviger offers an individual approach that is seamlessly integrated with this vision.

Representing Lily Beach Resort & Spa, and Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa, the agency will synergise with its professional networks to communicate a truly timeless adventure for potential patrons of the resorts.

Claviger has a team which boasts over 100 years of hospitality experience among them in the market, and is focused on leading hospitality properties through comprehensive planning and creative insights.

With two great properties excelling in different means and valued highly in many markets around the world, Claviger will work to increase the resorts’ recognition in the Middle Eastern market and bring their respective brand identity’s appeal to the masses and increase the reach throughout the market.

“We have selected a new representation company based on their great expertise in hotels, Middle East sales and marketing representation, strategic marketing planning, social media management and strategic marketing, which are highly required to sell/promote our brand portfolio at this business revival period in Middle East region,” Imroz Uddin, Lily Hotel’s Group Director of Sales and Marketing, said.

While the US, and Russia and CIS remain the leading market generator at this juncture, the Middle East has also performed well as a source market since the Maldives reopened its borders in July.

Through the collaboration with Claviger, Lily Hotels aims to highlight the visibility of their award-winning pioneer all-inclusive packages and unique selling points of both properties so that discerning travellers in the market choose Lily Beach or Hideaway Beach for their post-lockdown holidays.
