“The past few months have been, no doubt, a challenging one for hoteliers, but these circumstances have also caused the industry at large to become agile and imaginative in terms of bolstering their business, and that’s why the sector remains a robust, vibrant and exciting one. With the 2017 Leaders in Hospitality Awards, we seek to recognise these innovative players of the Middle East’s hospitality industry, and celebrate the region’s best concepts, properties and talent in this space.”
