“What makes the Gulf remarkable is not simply the scale of its ambition, but its ability to turn ambition into reality.

Decades of bold vision and leaders who lead by example have built the infrastructure, connectivity and ecosystems behind this transformation.

Technology and AI will transform how people discover, book and experience travel, but hospitality will always be a people business. The greatest opportunity is to combine innovation with what this region already does exceptionally well: ambitious thinking, genuine hospitality and the ability to deliver at scale.”

In business, as in hospitality, I have always believed that reputation is earned every day and carried with you throughout your journey. Build with purpose, because what we build today is the legacy we leave tomorrow.”
