Marriott India is celebrating its’ first M-Day for 2016 with a week full of activities focused on guests, associates and other stakeholders. The underlying message of this M-Day is to walk our guests through the ‘Marriott India Story’ and thank them for making us who we are besides promoting themes such as women empowerment and women in leadership. M-Day stands for more; more in terms of guests, business closures resulting in revenues, associates and opportunities.  It is also a way of letting our guests know that we constantly strive to add more value to their business by our innovative client engagement approach.”

Speaking about this initiative, Mr. Manish Tolani, Area Director of Sales & Marketing – South Asia at Marriott International, quoted, “The M-Day 2.0 Making it happen! initiative is a unique way to show the brand’s quest to excel in guest service and employee satisfaction. It will help our employees to connect and engage with the Marriott guest better, go beyond the call of duty and pause to build relationships outside the usual dynamics of work. It is also a way of letting our guests know that we constantly strive to add more value to their business by our innovative client engagement approach.”
Highlighting the theme of ‘Women Empowerment’, Courtyard by Marriott Agra  organized an exclusive bakery workshop for women in Agra at their hotel Bakery.
