With so much development taking place here, more and more global businesses are investing heavily in this region. As a result, the regional travel industry has also experienced a boom in both the consumer as well as the corporate segments,” said Mishal Kanoo, deputy chairman of The Kanoo Group. “To keep up with the increasing travel demands, we decided to open a state-of-the-art Corporate Travel Services centre in Dubai equipped with the latest technology which meets all international standards. The new office will offer our customers complete travel management solutions, convenience and 24x7 travel services with the highest levels of customer service.” Kanoo Travel, which launched its retail travel and foreign exchange offices in the United Kingdom and France earlier this year, recently expanded its operations by opening offices in Fujairah, Al Ain and the Burj Dubai Business Complex in the UAE in addition to its expansion and rapid growth in Oman and Qatar. The Corporate Services Centre in Dubai is the first of many such centres that Kanoo Travel plans to open across the region. “The launch of our latest corporate service center in Dubai demonstrates our continued investment in ‘leading edge' travel services and technology. Furthermore it is an outward sign of our determination to stay in the number one position in travel throughout the Middle East. The Corporate service centre is one element in our business re-engineering process to ensure we remain focused on providing the ‘world class' service demanded by our customers,” said Julian Knott, Division general manager, Kanoo Travel. “Kanoo Travel has been the pioneer of the Gulf's travel industry as we set up the first travel office in this region in 1935.
