The Hotelier Middle East Awards were launched to recognize individuals that make the region's hotels some of the very best in the world.
Now in its sixth year, the Hotelier Middle East Awards recognizes a broad range of front- and back-of-house roles, from laundry managers to chefs, marketing managers to front office personnel. There are 19 award categories in the 2009 awards.
ADNH CEO Richard Riley said,
"As the region continues to grow as a global destination for tourists, holiday-makers and business travellers, it is more important than ever for standards to be maintained. Awards like these ensure that everyone that is contributing to this ongoing success is recognised and their hard work acknowledged. We are extremely proud of our colleagues and their achievements."
