recognised by one of the top hospitality
conferences in the region. I have always
been keen to see Habtoor Hotels
participate in AHIC, because it offers a
valuable platform for industry leaders
to share their success stories and
achievements.”
Al Habtoor, who started the company in

every successful step Dubai has taken.
Today, the Group is recognised as one
of the most successful companies in the

moving forward and continue the journey
with.”
