Movenpick Hotels & Resorts in Jordan has appointed Michael Nugent as its new regional director, aiming to attract new markets for the company's existing properties in Jordan.
The new appointment comes in response to Jordan's growing reputation as a destination for leisure holidays and medical tourism.
"Movenpick Hotels & Resorts in Jordan plays a unique role in the region, especially as there are several destinations for international guests that place an emphasis on their wellbeing and health. Unique natural resources like the Dead Sea for example, where we operate one of our award-winning properties, have contributed to the country’s growing medical sector," said Movenpick Hotels & Resorts regional director Michael Nugent.
