Millennium Place Marina Drives AED 5M with FPG Solution

Every hotel stay begins at the front desk, and at Millennium Place Marina in Dubai, hotel check-in upselling has become a powerful revenue driver. After adopting FPG's front desk performance solution in 2019, the property transformed everyday guest moments into measurable financial impact. Since joining the program, the hotel has delivered consistently strong results, with Room RevPAR impact steadily increasing from +1.20% in 2019 to +4.93% in 2025. This proves that when frontline teams are equipped and engaged, performance and revenue follow.

Rakesh Kumar, Director of Front Office, explains the hotel's challenges before working with FPG: "We were unable to effectively track overall upselling performance and it was difficult to create healthy competition among team members." He says there was "no real-time visibility of incentives, reducing motivation and engagement." The team also faced a "lack of proper upselling-related training materials" and "high manual workload."
