For Crowne Plaza Dhaka Airport, the achievement represents more than recognition of an individual hotel. It provides an opportunity to showcase the evolving standards and potential of Bangladesh’s tourism and hospitality industry on an international platform, alongside some of the leading travel and hospitality products from across the region.
Ashwani Nayar, Cluster General Manager, Crowne Plaza Dhaka Airport and InterContinental Dhaka Airport, said:
“This recognition is a proud milestone for Crowne Plaza Dhaka Airport, but its significance goes beyond our hotel. To represent Bangladesh on a global platform alongside some of the finest names in travel, tourism and hospitality is a privilege. We believe Bangladesh has tremendous potential as a destination, and recognitions such as this help bring greater international attention to the quality, ambition and hospitality the country has to offer.”
Located strategically near Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Crowne Plaza Dhaka Airport serves business and leisure travelers while contributing to the development of Dhaka’s emerging airport hospitality ecosystem.
The recognition further strengthens the hotel’s commitment to delivering international hospitality standards while playing its part in positioning Bangladesh as an increasingly compelling destination for business, travel and tourism.
