Mr. Emile Saade joined the City Seasons Group with an extensive sales background from International companies like Crowne Plaza and Habtoor Hotels in Lebanon and in Dubai. He was part of the opening team of the 5-star Royal Rose Hotel in Abu Dhabi as sales manager in 2013 and was promoted to Cluster Assistant Director of Sales – Travel Trade in February 2016.
Commenting on the promotion, Mr. George Demitry, Group General Manager said
“We have seen a significant increase in demand from the leisure business in the UAE for the past 2 years, apart from the Chinese and CIS markets that were already familiar with the destination, and we have decided to dedicate one department to handle this segment for our group of Hotels and Emile will be the perfect fit for this position. He has extensive experience in the leisure sales and he will also be instrumental in developing the new markets that were not familiar with Dubai as a destination i.e. Africa and South America. We wish him all the success in his new appointment”.
