This November 19-20, Skift Global Forum East, hosted by Dubai, will return to welcome several hundred leaders and some of the brightest minds from across hospitality, tourism, technology, and aviation to discuss and connect over the future of the global travel industry.
Here are three leaders that have been recently announced for interviews at the Forum:
Hyatt CEO Mark Hoplamazian has charted a strong path for the brand and its continued expansion through his leadership. From the recent acquisition of Standard International to double-digit growth throughout India, Hyatt’s portfolio has evolved into a unique mix of resort, lifestyle and luxury, which Hoplamazian believes helps the brand stand apart for the future. Join us as we hear Mark’s vision for Hyatt’s future vision for the Middle East and beyond.
H.E. Mrs. Lina Annab has now returned to her position as Jordanian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, and it comes at a very important time for the region. This conversation with the Minister will uncover how she is keeping Jordan’s strategies agile and responsive to a rapidly evolving travel ecosystem and looking beyond the traditional means of marketing a destination, as well as the connection between tourism and community.
The growth of India is very much tied to travel’s future overall, and few people know that better than Air India Express Managing Director Aloke Singh, who has overseen the airline’s recovery and rapid growth in recent years as outbound tourism from India continues its upward trajectory. Singh’s conversation will shed light on Air India Express’ journey to become a dominant carrier in the ever-growing Indian travel market, as well as what he sees as the big issues and opportunities ahead for attracting Indian tourism.
We will also look at the growth and promise of entrepreneurs during the Forum, and Noelle Homsy, the co-founder of ENVI Lodges, brings both a strong vision and unique perspective as she has worked to grow this boutique hospitality brand from the ground up. With a focus on luxury experience and sustainability at its core, we will hear Noelle’s journey as a Dubai-based founder growing globally, how they have gained interest from owners through their vision and design, and what it takes to go from an idea to a brand that attracts investment in today’s environment.
