Marriott Europe hosts one big thank you parties in five cities including private screening of Skyfall in Edinburgh

WORLD – As part of a ‘One big thank you’ campaign, Marriott Europe, a division of hotel group Marriott International, is set to host five parties in five European cities for its “most valued customers”.
 
A first for Marriott, ‘One big thank you’ is a spin on its annual Global Customer Appreciation Week, held in October, to allow Marriott sales associates to say thank you through bespoke customer activities, appointments, lunches, office visits and events.
 
“This year is the 18th Marriott Global Customer Appreciation Week and the European Division wanted to do things a little differently,” said Marriott VP of Sales for Europe, Paul Malcom. “What better way to thank our most valued customers than with a memorable party across five cities? The cities selected are London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Munich and Budapest.”
 
Malcom said an European Task Force was developed for the project and following a number of brainstorms, the number ‘one’ was identified as a common thread and will feed through all five parties in some way.
 
Marriott’s most senior figures, including the European area vice presidents for each region, will attend the events across Europe, which will be held over three days in October: 24, 25 and 26.
 
Details of each event:
