In her new role Waldow will be responsible for all sales and marketing activities concerning the two properties.

As JAL Hotels prepares for the opening of its first Dubai property in the first quarter of 2010, Waldow brings with her valuable hotel pre-opening expertise and over nine years of Middle East based marketing and sales experience, including stints as the Director of Sales at the Four Points by Sheraton Complex in Dubai, and senior sales positions at Sheraton properties in Abu Dhabi and Doha.

Mr. C. Fujimoto, Executive Officer, Middle East Region of JAL Hotels says, "With her demonstrated Middle East sales and marketing know-how, we are confident that Vanessa will prove herself a valuable asset to the JAL Hotels group in further developing our brand and business goals within this region."

Waldow says, "I very much enjoy working with a professional, diverse and dedicated team and we are showcasing and selling two fantastic and unique products, both the Hotel JAL Fujairah Resort & Spa and the upcoming Hotel JAL Tower Dubai. It's a privilege to join JAL Hotels at this exciting stage of its development within the Middle East, and I look forward to implementing strategies to successfully achieve and exceed our sales and marketing goals here. JAL Hotels is all about people - it's all about being passionate about what we do and how we do it, and as such, I'm thrilled with my new home!"
