/24-7PressRelease/ - DUBAI, UAE, June 09, 2008 - Travelers can book premium properties across Dubai at discounted rates now. This was announced by DubaiShortStay.com, a Dubai based web portal that allows you to have an online access to key Dubai hotels and serviced apartments for accommodation. Customers are also offered a free passage from airport to hotels as part of this new package. They can also book their Safari Excursions and car rentals online now, as the portal has recently made several changes to its featured facilities.
DubaiShortStay is a leading travel and hotel booking portal that provides an access to most of Dubai's key premium properties. The portal was launched in 2003 under the ambiance of Silver Gate Properties, the real estate firm being run by several Dubai based expatriates, who carry among them a vast expertise in hospitality, rental properties and the city's thriving tourism sector.
Hassan Morcel, the company's managing director, explained the rational behind his portal's latest move. "Dubai plans to monthly receive a million visitors by the year 2010, and it is bound to fuel up the demand for accommodation in Dubai cheap hotels, serviced apartments and villas by that time," he stated. "Being the industry leader, we had to take these initiatives to meet with the rising challenge," he added.
Hassan spoke at length why they were extending a free airport transfer as part of their discounts. According to him the arrivals and departures can be cumbersome in a city like Dubai, due to its road congestion. "Arranging transportation can be a major challenge in Dubai, unless done in advance. We are making sure the landings and departures of our clients became smooth," said Hassan. "The hassle-free movement is more significant in this case, as compared to the offered free passage," he added.
Travel agents can also benefit from these incentives, as per the company's offer. "Travel agents can play a crucial role in channelizing business to us. They can make or break any travel industry if they desired so, therefore, we had to keep them in good humor," smiled Hassan. "We are providing them with the same set of offers, as a result, that we should extend to others. This will allow them to lessen their workloads," he opined.
Hassan did admit his portal was facing a great deal of competition from other portals based in and outside Dubai, but hoped to continue on leading the market by cashing on his organization's past track record and the city's overall bullish growth. "Several more portals about serviced apartments, Dubai cheap hotels and villas are trying to enter into the market segment we dominated since 2003, however, this was bound to take place sooner or later, so we are not too worried about it," he stated.
"We are taking several measures to secure and further develop the market we so tirelessly built over the last five years. This is merely the beginning of a series of several marketing campaigns and we plan to carry on with awareness drives throughout this year," he added. "Results of these discounts notwithstanding, other portals might also try to copy us, thus benefiting the customer even more," said Hassan.
A quick look at the website tells the visitors about the info they should be able to garner from DubaiShortStay. The portal has recently upgraded its search features, thus providing an access to all major serviced apartments, private villas and hotels in Dubai. It only takes a couple of minutes to process the deal for any desired accommodation. One can even make changes to previous bookings within an allotted time period.
