SOL MELIÁ INTRODUCES REGIONAL MEETING DIRECTORY

Leading European hotel chain Sol Meliá is launching their first Sol Meliá Meeting Directory containing detailed information on the Group's Asia-Pacific hotels, in a special easy reference folio format.

The new handy guide contains extensive information on the meeting facilities available in properties throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The first edition of the Sol Meliá Meeting Directory, produced in English, also includes information on tariffs, and provides floor plans on size of meeting rooms, room capacity, type of set-ups, and services offered.

Sol Meliá has created this directory to fulfil client requests for a reference tool that would save event planners time when sourcing a meeting venue. With an initial print run of 5,000 copies, Sol Meliá will be distributing the directory to international meeting planners as well as at tradeshows including the EIBTM in Geneva, IT & CMA in Kuala Lumpur.

Meeting planners interested in obtaining a copy of the directory can contact Ms Serene Ong, Assistant Director of Sales (Corporate Accounts) at Tel (65) 334 3332 or fax: (65) 334 2065 or through e-mail at: serene.ong@solmelia.com
