JA Resorts & Hotels celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its Emiratisation department in April 2013.
JA Resorts and Hotels was one of the founding members of the Emiratisation Task Force set up by the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing in 2002.
The company’s Emiratisation department was created at a time when few UAE nationals were employed in the country’s hospitality industry.

“When we introduced our Emiratisation department back in 2003 we were one of the first hoteliers to do so. Now it’s an industry standard and we’re proud of all the talented UAE nationals within our properties,” recalls David Thomson, chief operating officer of JA Resorts & Hotels.
“Today, JA Resorts & Hotels is an industry leader and our approach to Emiratisation is highly regarded as a ‘best practice’ example. Our vision is to be the premier hotel employer for UAE nationals, by making the hospitality industry a career of choice,” added Ghanim Almarry, director of Emiratisation at JA Resorts & Hotels.
The event, held at the JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort also felicitated representatives from DTCM, TANMIA, and ENDP.
