Park Hyatt Dubai plays host to luxury brand legends

"The demand for luxury hospitality will continue to grow across the Gulf region, largely due to guests' preference for premier location and personal service," said Stuart Deeson, General Manager, Park Hyatt Dubai.

Likewise, speakers at Leaders in Luxury feel that the potential for luxury is huge in the Middle East. Just one of the heavy-weights speaking at the conference is Mr Christian Blanckaert, Executive Vice President, Hermès International.

"The opportunities for luxury in the Middle East are massive and the potential lies in innovation and creation. Our consumers in the Middle East are extremely savvy and know more about our products and prices that we think. In order to succeed, we must invent to the highest degree of innovation and quality standards."
