Young Hotelier of the Year
Yasmin Al Sanea, personnel manager, InterContinental Al Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
How has winning a Hotelier Award impacted your career?
Winning the Young Hotelier of the Year has had many positive impacts on my life. Some of the things I’ve enjoyed were meeting different people from all around the Middle Eastern hotels, as well as meeting the area managers within IHG; which has given me a bigger perspective to think about the hotel industry in a different way. In addition, it put IC Jubail on the limelight, marking the first award in the hotel’s history.
What advice would you give other hoteliers hoping to win a Hotelier Award?
To always aim higher and dedicate time and effort to achieve your goals; in order to become an inspiration to others — keep in mind that it requires patience and commitment — coupled with luck, doing things right and having the right support, you will get there.
Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
My short term goal is to become the first female HOD, and within five years’ time, to be closer to realising my goal of becoming the first female GM in KSA.
