Dubai, United Arab Emirates (May 28, 2015) – Hyatt won the award for Best Stand Design at this year’s Arabian Travel Market (ATM) Best Stand Awards initiative, competing against more than 400 exhibition stands across five individual categories.
Hyatt was lauded for its stand’s inviting design with an all-black feature theme with red stairs as a focal point. According to Diane Thorsen of Perkins+Will, the stand had the best lighting at the show, which added intimacy, and the stand was lively and buzzing so it felt like a mini hotel.
A distinguished group of industry experts and design professionals made up the judging panel, including Leo Fewtrell, Managing Partner, Gulf Reps; Fiona McAndrew-Sharp, Al Hilal Publishing; Diane Thorsen, Perkins+Will; Steven Jones, Shamal Marketing; Nicholas Hall, SE1 Media; and Bruce Martin, Ginger Juice.
“Hyatt is delighted to have been selected as the inaugural winner of the Best Stand Award at ATM. We are an industry-leading brand with a tradition of innovation developed over our more than fifty-year history, and we are pleased to have this recognized during the biggest regional industry gathering,” said Dubai-based Tareq Daoud, Regional Vice President – Sales, Hyatt Sales Force, Middle East & Africa.
