Why is it important to you to support the Hotelier Middle East Awards 2017?
OSN is partnering with the Hotelier Middle East Awards for the first time this year, and we are very proud to support an event that recognises the hardworking talent in the industry. At OSN, we always look to reward our employees, and the Hotelier Middle East Awards are celebrating many of the individuals that we interact with on a day-to-day basis with our products and services, who often do not get the recognition that they deserve from their peers. OSN is a big supporter of the Hotelier Middle East Awards’ aim to give the back-of-house heroes that make the region’s hotels some of the very best in the world their chance to shine.
What is your latest offering for the hospitality sector in the region?
At OSN, we’re really big on family. We know that there’s nothing more enjoyable than some family-friendly TV time. OSN has something for everyone to make you feel at home – from movies and series, to kids programmes, factual shows, sports, and much more.
Over time, viewing habits are changing, and OSN is focusing on developing new products to reflect this. We are continually looking to expand our catalogue of entertainment content. By increasing our offering by genre, region, and language, OSN is looking to reflect the needs of a more diverse demographic in the Middle East and North Africa tourism industry.
OSN now offers a variety of channels that are extremely popular and consumed through both public viewing and in-room entertainment, across all demographics. In the UAE, our most popular channel in the hospitality sector is the Disney Channel HD, with 63% of all customers selecting this channel.
On OSN Movies, customers can watch blockbuster movies as soon as we have them. Hotel guests are able to see Hollywood’s biggest hits for the first time on TV. Furthermore, the recently launched entertainment channels, OSN Series First HD and OSN First HBO HD, are home to the global smash hits House of Cards and Game of Thrones, respectively.
For our public viewing offering, OSN has an unparalleled line up of sport, entertainment, and Pehla and Pinoy content. From FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifiers, WWE, international and T20 cricket, the Rugby Championship, and the Golf Majors, to the Indian Premier League or even the latest South Asian entertainment, news, and music, OSN can provide the channels and content that customers want to watch.

The Hotelier Middle East Awards is a platform that allows our peers in the industry to be recognised. These awards specifically keep our peers, with whom we work on a daily basis, motivated in their line of work. It is also a great avenue to see young, fresh talent grow in the market, and the awards also allow us to focus not only on the front- but also on the back-of-house.
