In a downturn economy, it is essential for companies to think outside the box, and pursue other avenues of revenue. Recently, Mike and Taya Paige embarked upon a business trip to Dubai for one month. The objective of this initiative was multifaceted. First, Le Rêve was marketing Southern California as an elite, exclusive, luxury destination to government agencies, corporations, and prominent families in the U.A.E. Additionally, this was not a one-way fact finding mission, rather Mike and Taya Paige sought to rediscover the cross cultural exchange between the two regions which has been lost over the past nine years. Le Rêve is hoping to re-establish Middle East business and leisure travel to the U.S. which was once a staple of their summers away from the desert.
The Le Rêve marketing initiative was unique in its concept and conclusions which Mike has delivered to business representatives as well as the U. S. Dept. of Commercial Development. If you are seeking insight as to access and pull through of Middle Eastern Leisure travel markets, Mike would like to discuss sharing the Le Rêve initiative with your group.
