Meet the Judges: Hotelier Middle East Awards 2014
Daniel Andrews has been the editor of the Arabian Travel News and ArabianTravelNews.com for the past 12 months. He returns to the judging panel for the second time with more than six years’ experience working within the travel and tourism industry. Prior to joining ITP Publishing, Andrews headed up the marketing and communications department at one of Dubai’s iconic five-star hotels, Dusit Thani Dubai.
As the judging day approaches on September 25, Andrews says: “I have attended the awards in different capacities over the past few years and the look of pride and appreciation from the winners and highly commended entries is so rewarding. To be able to determine who from the region’s crème de la crème is most deserving for their efforts and contribution to the industry is a great privilege and honour.
“The Hotelier Middle East Awards always attracts a wealth of entries from across the region. What I am really looking for is that spark that makes an individual, or team, really stand out. That can be anything from going the extra mile in ensuring satisfied guests to thinking outside of the box in exceeding KPIs. It has to be something far beyond the realms of what is expected in day to day tasks.”
