Since 2016, Hotelier Maldives also connects with its readers at the now well-established GM Forum where General Managers, corporate hoteliers, developers and relevant government representatives debate key issues facing hotel operations in the country. Furthering the relevancy of the publication and to address key challenges facing the sector, Hotelier Maldives also partnered with Singapore-based IDeaS to initiate a series of workshops on revenue management for hotels. To be hosted on a regular basis, the second workshop is scheduled for November 2017.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14317″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The newest addition to the Hotelier Maldives event calendar is the Hotelier Maldives Wellness Summit; which aims to look at the changing perception of Maldives as a tourism destination, changing traveller behaviour, the growth of wellness tourism, and the many ways the destination can tap into this fast-evolving segment of the market.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14318″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]World renowned Wellness Consultant Anni Hood will be a keynote speaker with case studies from Soneva group amongst other notable speakers featuring in the Summit.

Hotelier Maldives Awards

Over four decades old, the Maldives tourism industry is one of the most robust and remains one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the world. Pioneered by a group of enterprising Maldivians, and later consolidated by the entry of leading international hotel chains, an authentic and distinct touch of Maldivian hospitality combined with the pristine surroundings of the resorts are the hallmarks of the destination. While increasingly luxurious resorts with state-of-the-art technology deployed in their top-most efficiency are being developed, the backbone of the industry remains the hard-working employees who are challenged to their limits to maintain the now reputed levels of service quality expected from the Maldives’ resorts.

The architecture and design, as well as the overall performance of the resorts and hotels in the Maldives, are well recognised in industry forums through awards both locally and internationally. However, as of present, an award that specifically recognises the employees working behind the scenes to deliver a memorable guest experience is lacking. And Hotelier Maldives Awards seek to address this lack through hosting an annual function where outstanding employees for a number of categories will be acknowledged.

The categories for the inaugural Hotelier Maldives awards will be announced in December 2017. Among others, the categories will include General Manager of the Year, Sales Person of the Year, Marketing and PR Person of the year, F&B Manager of the Year, Executive Chef of the Year, Fitness/Spa Person of the Year, Procurement Person of the Year, Finance Person of the Year, Housekeeper of the Year, Concierge/Guest Services Person of the Year, Safety and Security Person of the Year, Young Hotelier of the Year, Hotel Team of the Year, etc. Nominations for the awards can be made through a dedicated page on hoteliermaldives.com  and winners will be decided by an independent panel of expert judges, ensuring the integrity of the awards, acknowledging only those who are truly deserving of the accolade.

The Hotelier Maldives Awards will be a celebration of excellence in the Maldivian hospitality industry, the winners being those who truly make a difference in the industry.
