Anew partnership between Marriott International and the CMAE will see members benefit from exceptional facilities, personal benefits and resources from the global hotel chain.

Marriott International is well known for its extensive network of luxury hotels and resorts, spanning the CMAE’s territories. By partnering with Marriott, the CMAE gains access to a diverse range of worldclass venues, offering unparalleled opportunities to deliver a consistent experience to club managers on the MDP Pathway with dynamic learning environments where participants can engage in interactive workshops, gain hands-on experience and network with industry experts.

Craig Cotterill, Commercial Director of the CMAE, is excited about the new venture.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Marriott International to elevate the learning experience for our members. This collaboration represents a significant milestone for the CMAE and reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional education and training experiences,” he said. “We are confident that the resources and expertise provided by Marriott will enhance the value we offer to our members and contribute to the continued professional development of club managers across the UK, Europe and MENA.”

Naomi Martin, Account Director at Marriott International, is equally enthusiastic.

Offering the most powerful portfolio in the industry, our 31 brands and 8,500+ properties across 138 countries and territories will give CMAE members more ways to connect, experience and expand their world.”
