Golden Tulip Accra poised to maintain lead

“For the year 2013, Golden Tulip Accra will again invest a lot of money in upgrading its facilities including new equipment and continue with their energy saving programme for environmental friendliness, in order to stay ahead of existing and upcoming competition and maintain its lead in the hospitality industry.  This was disclosed by the new General Manager, Mr. Thom Sheriff, at a press soirée organised by the hotel for the media last Friday.

Mr. Sheriff stated that “2013 for the hospitality industry will be a tough year with new hotels opening up from the first quarter till the end of the year; making it more difficult and challenging for all of us to fight harder and to work more efficiently to protect our market share.” 

However, he said Golden Tulip Accra has a clear vision and strategy to keep up with the ever-changing expectations of guests by focusing on constant training of staff, both on- and off-the-job, and upgrading the hotel’s standards in order to deliver quality service that ensures  a positive guest-experience.

The press soirée, which is an annual event to acknowledge the support and contribution that the media has played in the success story of the hotel over the years, was well-attended by both veteran journalists and up-and-coming journalists from the print, electronic and radio media.

Members of the media were treated to an elaborate buffet dinner, drinks and good music, and had the opportunity to interact with top management of the hotel.  The top management team-members in attendance included Mrs. Bertha de Graft- Johnson, Sales and Marketing Manager; Mr. Sam Aduama, Technical Services Manager; Mr. Francis Deyegbe, Guest Services Manager; and Mr. Mark Gaskin, Xperience Manager, among others.

Some veteran journalists highly commended the Golden Tulip Group for maintaining its standards and class by delivering quality service in its hotels in Accra, Kumasi City and Festac Lagos.

Golden Tulip Accra is owned by GLAHCO Hotels & Tourism Development Company Limited and is managed by the Golden Tulip Hospitality/Louvre Hotels Group, the 8th-largest hotel chain in the world.
