Purchasing a television can provide you with five-star hotel accommodations. Seems implausible? Of course, it's meant to be unrealistic. But it's completely true. Sony Corporation, Sony's official distributor in Bangladesh Smart Electronics Limited (Sony-Smart), and the InterContinental Dhaka, the country's first five-star and luxury hotel, have begun working together to provide such special benefits to buyers of electronics products in Bangladesh.
If you buy the original Japanese Sony television from the Sony-Smart showroom or authorized sales centre, you will get various types of staycation facilities in InterContinental Dhaka.
In this regard, InterContinental Dhaka's contract was signed with Sony and Smart Electronics Limited on Tuesday evening at InterContinental Dhaka's Crystal Ballroom. Sony South East Asia (RMDC) President Jeremy Heng Choon Guan on behalf of Sony Corporation, Director Tanvir Hossain on behalf of Smart Electronics and General Manager Ashwani Nayar signed on behalf of InterContinental Dhaka.

It was said at the event that, Sony-Smart has introduced a G-5 policy to achieve maximum satisfaction of customers and partners.
Under this policy, they ensure genuine products, genuine prices, genuine service with genuine care and genuine passion.
Sony South East Asia (RMDC) President Jeremy Heng Choon Guan addressing the event said: “I believe that with each other's cooperation, we can easily deliver genuine products and services to the doorsteps of consumers in Bangladesh. As Intercontinental Dhaka joins Sony-Smart's efforts to realize this goal, our strength will increase further.”
Director of Smart Electronics Limited (Sony-Smart) Tanvir Hossain said: “For 77 years, Sony has been at the forefront of global technological innovation and entertainment market, while Smart, the official distributor of Sony in the country's market, has the recognition of excellence in the supply of products in the information technology sector for 25 years.

Together with these three bests, when we plan to offer special benefits to consumers of electronics products in the country, it will definitely be exceptional and full of innovation.”
Ashwini Nair, general manager of InterContinental Dhaka said: “When we bought the first television in our house in 1982, we bought Sony television. Even while moving house recently, my wife told me about Sony television. The Sony brand has gained the loyalty of customers like us. Therefore, InterContinental Dhaka signed a hospitality partnership agreement with Sony-Smart. Through this agreement, we are involved in something new. As a result, I hope that the customers of Sony, Smart and InterContinental Dhaka will get the maximum benefit in all avenues.”
