Nijhawan said: "Having lived in various cities in India, Saudi Arabia, UK, Sri Lanka, Oman and UAE has given me a rich global perspective and I am able to connect with my clients from different countries and cultures. Over the last four years, I have been part of Dubai's dynamic and rapidly increasing meeting and conference industry. I am honoured to have been promoted to Groups and Events Sales Manager and look forward to an exciting journey ahead."

"Being in the Middle East at a time when the MICE industry is at a growth phase, is extremely interesting and dynamic. I am thrilled to work with a hotel that is growing along with Dubai's vision to become a leading conference destination." says Ekta.
