A&T Group Interiors has partnered with Hotelier Middle East: Great GM Debate 2018 which will be held on September 10, 2018 at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel + Conference Centre.

A&T Group Interiors CEO and co-founder Tareq Khalafawi said, "The Great GM Debate is an excellent professionally hosted event uniting like minded professionals, owners, and operators discussing the industry challenges, opportunities, paving the way forward and adding value to its delegates and their businesses. This is a great opportunity to network and build relationships with potential customers and industry leaders."

Khalafawi also pointed out that they are able to cater with some of the concerns hoteliers are facing in the region.

"Hoteliers today are looking for a personal touch, something that their clients can easily feel connected to from the moment they enter. Brand standards are changing to be more about how they want people to feel while exploring the hotel and its environment. Concerns are mostly based around the ability to offer value for money and being able to adjust the hotel offering, to the needs of the guest the hotel wants to attract," he said.

With Expo 2020 drawing closer, Khalafawi predicts the company can look forward to a busy period. 

"During this period, we are looking to conclude the registration of our business in other GCC countries, such that we can formally open our offices. We are obviously looking forward to our launch events, and the date for this will be confirmed in due course," he added.

According to Khalafawi, several major Expo 2020 and Vision 2030 [in Saudi Arabia] and mega projects that are in the planning phases in key districts that are set to redesign UAE’s landscape, and more. A&T Group Interiors also expects to see an increase in construction and investment activity in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

"As such, our main focus during the coming 12 months will be to further grow a balanced portfolio of projects with a strategic mix of short-term, fast-track developments with duration ranging from three to four months, to long-term mega developments, with duration ranging from eight to 16 months," he explained.
