Yas Island Rotana & Centro Yas Island is pleased to announce a sponsorship agreement with Trident racing, the leading Italian team of the GP2 series during Formula one weekend Abu Dhabi 2010.

Offering superb accommodation in great location, Yas Island Rotana is a 4 star deluxe hotel, consists of 281 rooms and 27 suites designed with International flair, modern accessories and contemporary style for guests seeking privacy and personalized service. Adjoining Yas Island Rotana and providing guests access to deluxe facilities is Centro Yas Island which is a modern, stylish and affordable business hotel brand. This 259 room hotel meets the demands of a new generation of traveler, seeking finesse and functionality at reasonable rates.

Commenting on this agreement, General Manager of Yas Island Rotana & Centro Yas Island Mr. Patrick Martinez said: "We wanted to capitalize on sports and what is better than racing sports on Yas Island home to major International, Regional and National events."

"This sponsorship will be a strategic pace to trigger Rotana brand recognition and loyalty internationally. In addition, it will contribute to an effective communication between the brand and the motorsports lovers" added Martinez.

The Trident Team made its debut in the 2006 season, quickly becoming a top team in the official Formula One feeder category thanks to state-of-the-art technology and a high level Staff. In the first three years, Maurizio Salvadori's team reached all the expected targets, where the Montecarlo Grand Prix victories in 2007 and 2008 stand out for their prestige at a worldwide level during the same F1 weekend and the "GP2 Best Team Presentation for 2007" and the "GP2 Best Team Communication for 2008" were awarded to Trident Racing for best image and communication activities between all the teams participating in the Championship.

Unique aspects of a typical Centro property include an executive centre, meeting rooms, the latest in-room technology from wireless connectivity to entertainment and personal amenities, gymnasium and a swimming pool. This is in addition to 'C Taste', which is a three-meal restaurant, 'C Mondo', a bar offering a selection of beverages and snacks, and 'C Deli', an innovative deli take-away dining concept allowing guests to enjoy great food and to consume their purchase on the spot, in the lobby lounge, or if they prefer, in the privacy of their rooms.
