How has winning a Hotelier Award impacted your career?
On the evening of the awards, my daughter posted pictures of me on stage on social media. I was overwhelmed with the response from my friends, family and peers and to this day, I still get people I know from all over the world congratulating me on the win. I can say that the respect and acknowledgement from my industry peers has been the most impactful. It is very rewarding when hard work gets appreciated and it positively influences perception internally as well as externally, motivating me to go the extra mile every day.
What advice would you give other hoteliers hoping to win a Hotelier Award?
