Three quarters of suppliers working with Middle East hotels believe reduced budgets mean hotels are scrimping on quality.
That was one of the findings of the first Hotelier Middle East Supplier Survey, published in the March issue of Hotelier.
As part of the survey, the respondents were asked to agree or disagree with several statements on the state of the industry.
