Event review
Alexandra Popa
Marketing Manager, MonViso Trading On the company: MonViso is a UAE-based company that distributes MonViso Italian Natural Mineral Water and more products exclusively. The Hotel Show is a unique concept, so we thought that – as an F&B company – we would stand out from the crowd. We’re very happy to take part, there are some amazing brands here. On products: MonViso is a 100% natural mineral water. The source of the water is Monviso mountain, in the Italian Alps, part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve area. At 2,042 metres altitude, this is the highest one in Europe. The higher the source, the greater the guarantee of a pristine environment and good water quality.
In the pipeline: This year, we’re very proud to be the Official Water Sponsor of the Dubai 30 Days Fitness Challenge and be able to create additional awareness over our “Take Water. Give Life” initiative. For example, one of the packages has a retail price of AED 307 for eight packs of 1.5 litres (pack of six bottles). Throughout the event period, we will be selling it for AED 205, with almost a 30% discount applied to 72 litres of water. On sustainability: We recycle and ensure the free collection of water bottles from customers. We’ve also partnered with a company to transform plastic into fibres, which are later used to make t-shirts.
