Atlantis tips

Atlantis Resorts will name Paul Baker as its new president, according to an internal memo obtained by Skift that was written by Philippe Zuber, the CEO of Kerzner International, the operator of the Atlantis brand.

The ultra-exclusive hotel operator Kerzner has said it plans as many as 15 more hotels as soon as five years from now. The Bahamas-born hotel group was created in 1993 and has focused on slow and steady growth over three decades with 15 One&Only resorts around the world, two Atlantis mega-resorts and a single “Rare Finds” property in the Dubai desert.

The Atlantis The Royal resort in Dubai has appointed a managing director. The property’s long-time SVP and general manager, Tom Roelens, takes on the role, who has led the mega-resort since its pre-opening phase.

Timothy Kelly has been promoted to global president of Dubai’s mega-resort brand Atlantis, as the group confirms it will expand overseas. In his new role, Kelly will oversee Atlantis Dubai, Sanya and the expansion of the Atlantis brand globally. This puts him in charge of both Atlantis The Palm and Royal, and the China hotel.

The tourism sector is booming in India, and companies have jobs to fill: There was 44% growth in hiring demand in the industry in August, according to latest data by recruitment platform foundit (formerly Monster).

After an outstanding inaugural Skift Global Forum East in 2022, we are returning to Dubai again on December 12-14 presented by Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism. This year, the Forum will be held at the luxurious and elegant Atlantis The Royal located on the crescent of the Palm Island in the heart of Dubai.
