This Dubai Hotel Brand Never Loses a Booking | City Premiere Apartments | ATM 2026 | Shady Shohdy
In this exclusive interview at ATM 2026 (Arabian Travel Market), Travel And Tour World sits down with Shady Shohdy Shawky, Director of Sales and Marketing for City Premiere Hotel Apartments, to discuss how the brand's two Dubai properties are capturing both corporate and leisure travellers. Key highlights from the interview: 1. Shady Shohdy Shawky notes this year's ATM felt different since it was postponed from May to September, giving them extra time to better prepare for meetings. 2. He describes a packed four-day schedule, from 10 AM to 5:30 PM, meeting both potential new clients and existing ones. 3. Their approach at the show involves prioritizing markets based on which of their two hotel locations best fits, then focusing on approaching new partners. 4. Property details: one property in Business Bay with 271 apartments (one to four bedrooms), and one in Marina with 142 apartments (also one to four bedrooms). 5. He explains the strategic advantage of having two locations, Business Bay serves corporate and business travellers, while Marina serves the leisure segment, so they don't lose potential business either way. 6. On what success at ATM 2026 looks like, he says despite the summer season, they've managed to stay on top of events and revenue, using the show to check market updates. 7. He shares that they're using ATM to explore the latest technology and distribution trends to penetrate the market further, keeping their strategy flexible rather than fixed. 8. He notes they continually assess market requirements to make sure their apartments match what the market needs.
