Marriott ExecuStay Announces 2008 Markets Of The Year
New York and Raleigh markets celebrate top honors
Bethesda, Md. – March 11, 2009 – Marriott ExecuStay®, a leader in temporary furnished housing, is pleased to announce two winners for the 2008 Market of the Year – New York and Raleigh, N.C. Marriott ExecuStay bestowed these honors in January at the company’s 2009 Market Leadership Conference held at the JW Marriott Hotel in Houston, Texas.
“Generally, only one market receives this prestigious award each year. But this year two of our markets had such outstanding performance, that it made it difficult to select just one,” said Adam Sherer, vice president, Marriott ExecuStay. “We think this is exceptional, especially given the economic environment that has made sustainability and growth so challenging for our industry.”
Both the New York and Raleigh markets surpassed expectations in a wide range of criteria including market growth, system cross-sell, guest satisfaction and community service. The Raleigh market is managed by Mainsail, one of Marriott ExecuStay’s franchisee partners.
