Hyatt 'Round The Gulf' tour

World's Leading Hyatt Property Representatives will Meet Key Players in Each Market

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, April 18, 2007 - Global Hyatt Corporation, one of the world's premier hotel companies, will be touring the Gulf States with leading Hyatt property representatives from Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia, as they promote their individual property offerings and build strong relations within the GCC travel industry.

The tour begins in Riyadh on 23 April and ends in Abu Dhabi on 29 April, with stops in between in Jeddah, Kuwait City, Doha, and Manama.

"GCC residents always look forward to summer travel, and we have something to offer for every taste in our international Hyatt properties, both here in the region, and abroad," said Thierry Bertin, Area Director of Marketing - Middle East, Hyatt International Hotels and Resorts.

"The purpose of our Hyatt GCC road show is to make certain that the travel industry in each Gulf state knows the latest developments from Hyatt, a very rapidly expanding company, with many new exciting properties across our differently-tiered brands," added Bertin.

The Hyatt hotel representatives expected at the tour include: Hyatt Regency (Dubai, Cologne, London - The Churchill, Mainz, and Sharm El Sheikh), Grand Hyatt (Amman, Berlin, Cairo, Dubai, Honk Kong, Singapore, and Muscat), and Park Hyatt (Dubai, Hamburg, Milan, Moscow, and Zurich).

Hyatt Regency, Grand Hyatt and Park Hyatt all hold unique qualities that attract loyal customers from all over the world, making Hyatt properties one of the most desirable homes away from home.

Hyatt Regency hotels are the company's core brand. These hotels are recognized for their slick service, innovative facilities and fashionable interiors. The Hyatt Regency brand of hotels were the first to offer the concept of the executive floor with its Regency Club, which features a private separate area in the hotel with a lounge featuring continental breakfast, evening hors d' oeuvres and a dedicated concierge. Hyatt Regency hotels are world-renowned for their group meeting and business facilities.

Premier city locations combined with dramatic architecture make any Grand Hyatt the hub for those who want to see and be seen. The hotels are grand in every sense of the word - from the bustling, opulent lobbies that form the heart of the hotel to the dramatic guestrooms, indulgent bathrooms and the eclectic choice of restaurants and bars. Characterized by impressive design, Grand Hyatt hotels are for those who want to luxuriate.

Located in fashionable cities such as Tokyo, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, Milan and Madrid, Park Hyatt hotels epitomize modern luxury. The Park brand was introduced in the 1980s to cater to discriminating travelers who seek privacy in a sanctuary type of environment.

Park Hyatt hotels are situated on prime real estate in gateway cities and have a chic residential feel with classic, elegant interiors. These small European and Asian-style boutique hotels, most with fewer than 200 rooms, are designed with an attention to detail, good taste, and reference to local culture.

Roadshow schedule: Riyadh (23 Apr), Jeddah (24 Apr), Kuwait City (25 Apr), Doha (26 Apr), Manama (28 Apr), and Abu Dhabi (29 Apr).

People who are interested in participating and benefiting from this unique opportunity can call the Hyatt Worldwide Sales Office on +966 211 8065 to RSVP.
