The post Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island earns two wins at TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025 – Middle East appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

The resort won the Family Resort of the Year – United Arab Emirates and Outstanding Achievement Award of the Year – United Arab Emirates.

Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has proven yet again its reputation as a premium beachfront destination with two recognitions at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025 – Middle East.

Redefining family travel
Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has quickly earned a reputation for being one of the region’s leading family-focused resorts. This is because of its combination of serene beachfront luxury, recreation, and Swiss-inspired hospitality that caters to multigenerational travellers.

The resort features 418 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, including connecting family rooms and private pool chalets. In 2023–2024, Mövenpick further expanded its family-friendly offerings with the launch of signature attractions, including the largest floating Wibit Water Park in Ras Al Khaimah, the interactive Xplore Arcade Room, and the Xscape Teen Zone, which was specifically built for teenagers.

Meanwhile, for younger guests, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island opened the Starfish Adventure Kids Club, which features supervised indoor and outdoor activities year-round. During school holidays, the resort introduces themed summer and winter kids camps that are open to both in-house guests and local families.

Furthermore, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has six restaurants where guests will find dedicated kids’ buffets, allergen-friendly menus, and special dining promotions. One of the most memorable moments for families is the resort’s daily Mövenpick Signature Chocolate Hour – a sweet tradition that delights children and indulges adults alike. Every afternoon, guests are treated to complimentary handcrafted chocolates, pralines, and desserts, creating a joyful gathering filled with indulgence and smiles. It’s not just about the taste; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Mövenpick’s Swiss heritage and leaves guests with a cherished memory of togetherness. The resort is also known for its in-room mini tents and activity kits for children, themed birthday celebration packages and tailored welcome amenities.

Additionally, the property supports family-oriented initiatives such as influencer staycations, educational workshops, and CSR campaigns, which are initiatives under its partnership with RAKTDA (Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority) and other collaborators. A notable initiative amongst these efforts is the “Kilo of Kindness” campaign, which encourages children and families to donate non-perishable goods whilst learning the values of empathy and giving back. Each year, the campaign not only supports families in need but also instils a sense of responsibility in families and young participants, turning small acts of kindness into a powerful community impact.

By continuously maintaining a guest-first mindset, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island has evolved from a luxury resort into a destination where families reconnect, relax, and create lasting memories.

The visionary leader behind the hotel’s success
Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan has remained at the top of luxury hospitality with the leadership of its general manager, Fabien Chesnais.

With Chesnais as the driving force behind the property’s remarkable growth, it has become one of the top-performing Accor properties in the UAE and currently holds the #1 position in Revenue Generation Index (RGI) across the group.

The resort has also gone beyond commercial success and emerged as a media standout. This was after it generated more than 1 billion media impressions and over US$1.2m in Advertising Value Equivalent (AVE).

Chesnais’s impact also extends beyond performance metrics, with the resort earning the Platinum Sustainability title for its eco-conscious initiatives and responsible operations. He is equally known for his people-first leadership style that has created one of the most engaged workforces in the region.

More than just a hotelier, Chesnais is a visionary leader, brand builder, and mentor whose dedication to excellence has inspired both his team and industry peers.

The post Airline growth platform GO7 enables two-way interlining for WorldTicket partners appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Airline growth platform GO7 announced that partners can now activate reciprocal interlining with over 300 carriers worldwide via its W2-coded carrier FLEXFLIGHT.

The announcement comes as FLEXFLIGHT joins IATA’s Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement (MITA), a globally recognised framework that simplifies interline cooperation between airlines and enables them to settle under familiar IATA terms.

GO7 chief development officer Peer Winter said: “Interlining used to involve months of contract negotiations and guesswork. FLEXFLIGHT’s MITA status now empowers carriers to connect to our sub-hosted partner airlines with ease, turning our W2 model into a dependable gateway for reciprocal partnerships, resulting in improved load factors. By enabling two-way interlining across the WorldTicket ecosystem, we’re helping our partner carriers access new markets, offer seamless travel itineraries, and convert more demand into real incremental revenue.”

What happens now?

With MITA in place, airlines seeking to interline with WorldTicket by GO7’s sub-hosted partners will only need to sign a one-page MITA concurrence and subsequently activate the MITA partnership via the IATA portal, skipping lengthy bilateral contracts and gaining access to more than 190 markets worldwide.

FLEXFLIGHT serves as GO7’s W2-coded carrier within the WorldTicket by GO7 distribution ecosystem; also, its participation in MITA follows the successful attainment of IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certification and full IATA membership.

These are two crucial prerequisites that demonstrate the standards required for interline cooperation under IATA terms.

Furthermore, this milestone underscores GO7’s continued commitment to global aviation standards and commercial excellence, strengthening its standing as a trusted global aviation partner.

The post The VIP Terminal Boulevard launched at Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

The Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South announced the launch of The VIP Terminal Boulevard earlier today, 11th September.

The VIP Terminal Boulevard is a new development designed to attract leading aviation companies and luxury retailers.

The boulevard will be delivered in phases starting in 2026.

According to Dubai Civil Aviation Authority chair Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum: “Aviation has always been one of the fundamental pillars of Dubai’s economy. The growing demand for aviation services in the emirate is a direct reflection of the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the advanced ecosystem in MBR Aerospace Hub which is beyond the aviation industry’s expectations. As we progress towards the completion of Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai will further cement its role as a global leader in aviation, attracting top-tier companies and setting new benchmarks for the industry.”

Al Maktoum added that The VIP Terminal Boulevard is a significant addition to the world-class facilities at Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub.

As of press time, construction has already commenced on Aviation One, a six-storey building within The VIP Terminal Boulevard, which combines modern architectural design with advanced functional layouts, reflecting MBRAH’s commitment to innovation and excellence.

The benefits on the horizon

This thoroughfare is expected to open new opportunities for leading aviation companies and luxury brands, enabling them to flourish, while further strengthening Dubai’s position as a premier destination for companies and a key player on the global aviation map.

Strategically located adjacent to the VIP Terminal, which continues to witness record growth in business aviation movements, the boulevard stretches 769 metres and features 16 premium buildings, offering state-of-the-art facilities and retail outlets across a total development area of 204,000 square metres.

Designed as part of MBRAH’s integrated aviation ecosystem, the development provides an unmatched opportunity for global companies seeking to establish and grow their presence in the region.

The post Philippine lawmaker calls for reduction or removal of terminal fees appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Brian Poe, a member of the Philippine House of Representatives, urged the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to consider the reduction or complete removal of terminal fees for Filipino travellers.

In a statement released on Friday, 5th September, Poe declared: “Every peso counts for our countrymen. If the government is already taking 82 percent of terminal fee revenues, then a portion of that should go back to the passengers through subsidies or reductions. That will be a direct relief to the Filipino people.”

Poe referred to the recent budget hearing wherein acting transportation secretary Giovanni Lopez explained that 82 percent of all terminal fee revenues flow directly to the national treasury, but only 18 percent remains with the concessionaire to fund operations.

The lawmaker further pointed out how terminal fees rose significantly over the past several years.

Are Filipinos paying too high a price?

As of press time, Philippine domestic terminal charges are at PHP390, while international terminal fees saw a dramatic jump from PHP550 to PHP950.

In the case of seaports, the Batangas Port recently tried to implement a 233 percent fee increase, but halted the initiative following public protests.

Poe pointed out that this arrangement opens the door for Congress to legislate measures to reallocate part of those revenues as subsidies for passengers.

He declared: “If that’s the case, then Congress can step in and mandate that part of that budget should go back to passengers. Instead of collecting it all in bulk, we can use a portion to subsidize terminal fees. That way, the benefits are felt directly by the Filipino people.”

The lawmaker likewise reminded the department that transportation is a basic necessity. 

As he put it: “People already pay for so many things like food, fuel, and utilities. If we can remove or at least subsidise terminal fees, even just for domestic travel, it will already be a big help. The goal of modernisation should be to make travel more convenient and accessible, not more costly.”

The post Israel reports tourism growth is at its highest in two years appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Israel’s tourism sector appears to be on an upswing as the country welcomed 118,200 visitors from across the world in August.

The figures as of 31st August reflect a substantial 72 percent increase compared to the 68,800 recorded at the same time last year. 

Travellers from the UK made up approximately ten percent of those numbers, with over 66,000 travelling between the two countries in 2025 year-to-date.

According to Michael Ben Baruch, director of the Israel Ministry of Tourism in the UK: “These figures represent amazing resilience and continued confidence in Israel as a destination. The positive spike in traveller numbers from the UK and the rest of the world in August signals that we are moving in the right direction, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Israel for visitors from across the world.”

Tale of the tape

Between January and August 2025, total tourist entries reached 814,000 globally, representing a 21 percent increase over the 672,400 arrivals recorded during the same period in 2024. 

However, this figure still reflects the ongoing recovery process, which continues to be well below the nearly two million entries recorded in the corresponding months of 2023.

At the same time, it was also announced that UK flag-carrier British Airways is set to return to Israel and is already taking bookings for flights between London Heathrow and Ben Gurion, Tel Aviv from 26th October of this year.

During the ministerial sessions, TAT governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool declared: “Thailand is committed to driving ASEAN tourism forward by fostering collaboration, expanding air connectivity, and delivering innovative experiences that reflect our cultural richness and sustainable practices. Participation at ITE HCMC 2025 reaffirms Thailand’s leadership in regional travel and our role as a trusted partner in shaping the future of tourism.”

Kiatphaibool’s participation at the ministerial session and panel discussion on Shaping the Future of Tourism: Embracing Digital and Green Transformation further highlights Thailand’s active contribution to advancing tourism dialogue at the regional level.

Marking its 19th year, ITE HCMC is recognised as Vietnam’s leading international tourism trade fair, welcoming over 520 exhibitors from more than 30 countries and about 28,000 attendees during its three-day run.

A proud cultural showcase

At the Thailand Pavilion, six Thai tourism businesses presented their products and services; namely Maple Hotel, Urbana Langsuan Hotel, Lark Holidays, Chiang Mai Night Safari, Phuket Jet Tour, and SAii Hotels & Resorts Thailand, including Santiburi Koh Samui. 

Visitors likewise got an immersive taste of Thai cultural heritage through Lai Yang fabric demonstrations from Phetchaburi, including gilded textile painting, DIY rosebud keychains, and traditional Thai costumes.

That said, TAT expects arrivals from Vietnam to reach no less than 900,000 by 2026.
