Now, because of the great development many jobs have been provided to the people that live in this great country. In addition, Dubai having grown from a small trading port country to a large international destination, it is now attracting many tourists from all parts of the world, giving them access to this astonishing country.

The different strategies that the government used were very successful like making the country more “familiar” with known brand names. Dubai’s government used many innovated and bold ways to raise awareness of the country, which some may call extraordinary, for example: “Marketing and branding efforts included international travel and tourism exhibitions and Dubai’s own road shows, international advertising campaigns, brochure production and distribution, media relations, the hosting of international airlines and hotel chains in Dubai as part of a ‘familiarisation’ visit strategy, and government-led approaches to investors from the tourism and commercial sectors.” By the creation of the Dubai Media Affairs Office (DMAO) maximum exposure is now been seeing through the whole have put this country on every future tourist’s radar. With Architecture being one of its main attraction because of tremendous structures like The Jumeirah Beach Hotel been the icon of Dubai, which is one of the most remarkable land marks of this wonderful country that now is consider “The Architects’ playground”. All of this development and incredible infusion of money, design and extravagance makes the country a very attracting places for millionaire tourist from all parts of the world. It is an incredible country that I dream to visit in a near future with my husband. My husband is fascinated with Dubai because he is studying to become an architect currently building the Brickell City Center which is located in the heart of downtown Miami, where we live. We both love modern contemporary Architecture and even though a trip to Dubai has a high cost right now, it is in our bucket list.

    Technology has created a major impact on the way in which all organizations market their products and services. With the development of the internet, companies are now able to economically market themselves on a global level. Even smaller companies that were once not able to capture international business due to the cost factor can now do just that. The Washington Plaza Hotel is no exception. The hotel industry in DC relies heavily on tourism as a major part of its client base. Many of these tourists who visit the city are of foreign nationality. It is important that the Washington Plaza Hotel targets these people when marketing the company. Not only do they target the tourist but they also target the international business travelers that come to the city on business related trips. The hotel's website, which gives detailed information about the hotel's accommodations and services, can be accessed by potential customers all over the world. In addition, the Washington Plaza Hotel has teamed up with such web-based travel services like Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Etc. in order to capture more of the global market.

  • Dubai: The New Destination For the Rich and Famous

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    Dubai’s extreme projects and buildings are unnecessary and serves little to no purpose. Dubai has spent billions of dollar in construction projects. When these are funded by the government and the investments are failures, the government becomes unstable. Some projects serve no purpose and have no functionality, but are built for the prestige and glory of having such amazing buildings. Why does Dubai need to have the world’s largest mall, skyscraper, an indoor ski sleep and man made islands. Do any of these serve purpose. Maybe the ski slope for tourism, but the world’s, 
“largest” shopping mall, is it really necessary. Now with the epic spending, the state owned Dubai-World who controls many building projects in the city has fallen into great debt. Now Dubai-World is requesting six extra months to repay it’s, “massive debts.” One of the ...

    Moreover, the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is considered the first international hotel brand in the world, as it began operations in the year 1946 (About InterContinental Hotels Group Brands, 2015). Over time the hotel group has evolved to encompass quality hotel rooms not only in North America, but in Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Asia-Pacific (IHG – InterContinental Hotels Group, 2015). In addition, they have acquired extended stay facilities and the Hualuxe Hotels & Resorts, which specifically “celebrates the essence of Chinese hospitality” (About InterContinental Hotels Group Brands, 2015). In my opinion, this shows that their target market has changed by expanding their scope of travel, which means they are traveling to farther and farther locations and require the familiar surroundings with equivalent product quality at the final destination. The InterContinental Hotels Group is in the fourth and final stage of the product life cycle, which is the decline stage (Editorial Board, 2014, p. 212). Indeed, the brands lengthy history indicates it has loyal customers, but its addition of innovations indicates the targeting of new customers for the organization, which are clear signs of a business in the decline stage of the product life cycle (Editorial Board, 2014, p.

    ...ies and a secluded women-only pool for those who wear headscarves illustrate the values of the locals. It also serves halal food and allows for 5am wakeup calls for morning prayers. Another form of western architecture that exemplifies the importance of local and national factors is the Dubai International Airport. It too caters for the Muslim population by supplying separate washrooms, prayer spaces, halal food stores as well as hiring women customs workers for searching any women wearing the head scarf if necessary. For a hotel to be designed in Dubai the exact same way as it would be in the West may prove to be unsuccessful simply because the target market or majority of Dubai’s population would not be catered for. All in all, it is evident that the local, regional and national factors of Dubai do remain exceedingly important throughout the globalisation process.
