Course Description
Depuis le 1er janvier 2012, l'ex Méridien Président est officiellement devenu le KING FAHD PALACE. Ce changement de nom marque une nouvelle étape dans l'histoire de ce joyau dont la gestion incombe dorénavant à la Société Hôtelière Africaine. L'expérience dans le domaine et les relations extérieures ne sont plus à démontrer.De fait, nous avons quitté une marque globale qui a une réputation mondiale pour une marque indépendante ne faisant pas partie d'un groupe international. Ainsi, il s'agira par là, pour cette nouvelle gestion de faire oublier la marque « Méridien Président » au profit d'une nouvelle identité qui sera le point de départ d'une nouvelle histoire. Tout cela sans risquer de déstabiliser la clientèle de l'Hôtel. C'est là où se situe tout l'intérêt de la nouvelle stratégie marketing qu'il faudra mettre en œuvre très rapidement dans le but de faire connaître la marque à un public plus large.Nos Clients • les particuliers• Les Entreprises (Locales, multinationales, équipages Compagnies Aériens, ONG etc)• les institutions (Etat et gouvernements, Organisations Internationales banques centrales etc) Notre Vision: Devenir et demeurer le premier établissement hôtelier au Sénégal, dans l'espace CEDEAO et en AfriqueNos Valeurs• Le culte de l'excellence• Le souci de bien servir • Le devoir d'éthique et de transparence
