I really like this! Bravo! It's not necessary to give up #Luxury to prove we are #Sustainable... On the contrary, companies dedicated to luxury can bring #GreatValue to the shift towards #Sustainability. #Marriott is an example of this, as they, along with #Etihad, dedicate time and #Effort to the #Preservation of #Mangroves. 👏❤️🌹 #UAE #ForbesMiddleEast #Ecosystem #ResponsableTourism #SustainableLuxuryLifeStyle #MarriottIbternationalHotels #Etihad #Mangroves

Hubbali airport

It’s impossible to travel anywhere in Dubai, without seeing a delivery riders in Talabat’s orange and yellow livery weaving their motorcycles through bumper-to-bumper traffic carrying food and grocery orders. They are an equally common sight across the United Arab Emirates and its Middle East neighbors, where they’ve helped the company build a $1.67 billion-a-year business serving up hot meals and cold snacks to locals and expats alike. That’s set up Talabat (which means orders in Arabic) to be the unlikely steward of what is set to be this year’s largest tech initial public offering. Talabat is expected to raise $1.5 billion from investors in a listing on Dubai’s stock exchange which at the top end of the IPO book price of 44 cents per share would see the company valued at over $10.2 billion. That’s a steep discount from the earlier forecast of a $14.4 billion valuation from Emirates NBD, one of the banks on the IPO. Even so, it will rank as one of the top ten largest IPOs globally this year, according to financial deals platform Dealogic. Read more: https://trib.al/ZHSt6vZ

True Customer Service from the Heart In the world of hospitality and customer service, the difference between a transaction and a memorable experience lies in the heart and soul of the service provided. Will Guidara, in his book Unreasonable Hospitality, brilliantly differentiates between 'black & white' and 'multi-technicolour' service. Black & white service is about doing the job adequately, following the script, and meeting the basic expectations; on the other hand, multi-technicolour service is vibrant, personalised, and exceeds expectations, leaving a lasting impression. This concept reminds me of the story of the three builders. When asked what they were doing, the first said, “I am laying bricks.” The second responded, “I am building a wall.” The third proudly declared, “I am building a majestic cathedral where people from all corners of the world can come to worship.” This story beautifully illustrates the profound impact of being in tune with the vision and mission of an organisation. It’s not just about the task at hand, but about understanding and contributing to the greater purpose. I recently witnessed this firsthand on an Emirates flight. While all the cabin crew were excellent, one - Jana Kutova - stood out as she attended to passengers on the other side of the aircraft. Jana didn’t just serve meals or attend to passengers’ needs. She engaged warmly, anticipated their needs, and added personal touches that made the journey exceptional for her charges. Her dedication to delivering multi-technicolour service was a cut above, turning a regular flight into a memorable experience for those passengers. Jana’s approach to her work is a shining example of how understanding and embracing the vision and mission of an organisation can transform a job into a passion, and routine service into an extraordinary experience. Let's all strive to move beyond the basics and deliver service that truly resonates with the heart. #CustomerService #Hospitality #Leadership #ServiceExcellence #Inspiration #Emirates #WillGuidara #UnreasonableHospitality Emirates Flight Catering

🌟 Hospitality & Catering: Driving Growth in the Middle East 🌟 The Middle East continues to solidify its position as a global hub for hospitality and catering. With key cities like Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha leading the charge, the region is witnessing rapid expansion fueled by robust government investments and visionary projects. The UAE alone saw a 22% increase in ADR (Average Daily Rate) in 2022, with a forecast for further growth in 2023 as the region attracts both leisure and business travelers alike. Catering services are evolving too, with a focus on sustainability and digital innovation—from reducing single-use plastics to embracing contactless service models that enhance the guest experience. As the region prepares for mega-events like Expo 2025 in Osaka and Vision 2030 in Saudi Arabia, hospitality and catering businesses are scaling to meet growing demand, contributing billions to local economies and creating a wealth of opportunities for professionals and investors alike. With this momentum, the Middle East is positioning itself as not just a gateway between East and West, but a leading destination for world-class hospitality. 🌍🏨🍽 #Hospitality #Catering #MiddleEast #Innovation #Sustainability

Riyadh Air | طيران الرياض a new #Saudi #Arabian airline, is making a bold move by opting not to offer traditional first-class suites. Instead, they plan to elevate their business class to a level of #luxury rivaling first class on many other airlines. This decision, led by #CEO Tony Douglas, is rooted in both financial and environmental sustainability concerns. The airline believes that first-class suites are often underutilized and not commercially viable, while a luxurious business class can offer a similar experience at a more competitive price point. ▪️Riyadh Air's strategy is to create a #business class that caters to the needs of discerning travelers who value comfort and luxury. This includes spacious suites with doors, fine dining, and personalized service, all while maintaining a focus on sustainability. By doing so, they aim to attract a wider customer base and establish themselves as a #leading #airline in the region. ▪️This decision sets #Riyadh #Air apart from its competitors, particularly #Emirates and #Qatar #Airways, who are known for their lavish first-class offerings. While this approach may be unconventional, it reflects a growing trend in the industry towards more sustainable and financially responsible practices. Only time will tell if Riyadh Air's gamble pays off, but it certainly has the potential to disrupt the traditional airline model and set a new standard for luxury #travel. #SaudiArabia #Tourism #Hospitality
