FOLLOWING its recent rebranding from Best Western Premier Dua Sentral in January, the newly opened Ramada Plaza Dua Sentral in Kuala Lumpur is targeting small meeting groups of up to 120 pax from Asia-Pacific, Europe and the US.
General manager Ian Hurst told TTGmice e-Weekly that the hotel is working with overseas outbound tour operators and local DMCs to create more awareness for the destination and the property.
He said: “One of our challenges is many in the travel trade don’t know what Malaysia has to offer to the MICE market. This destination is overshadowed by Bangkok, Singapore and Vietnam.
“There is a lot going for Malaysia. English is widely spoken, people are mostly educated, charming and friendly, and the country boasts diverse cultures.”
The property has 10 meeting venues and four F&B outlets.
According to Hurst, the property’s generic meeting packages can be further customised, while restaurant menus are also available in foreign languages such as Mandarin, Korean, Japanese and Arabic.
