Commenting on the partnership, Rupprecht Queitsch, general manager of the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai, said: “Sport is an integral part of tourism and holds huge growth potential for the promotion of Dubai as a year-round business and leisure destination. We are therefore proud to welcome the British and Irish Legends Rugby Team to the hotel, and wish them the best of luck during their weekend matches.”
