Hotelier Maldives Issue 58: In this issue we look at how travelers define and seek wellness experiences; and we talk to two eminent leaders in the field, Ozgur Cengiz, the General Manager at JOALI BEING and Heidi Grimwood, Vice President of Spa, Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts.
Speaking exclusively to Hotelier Maldives, both Cengiz and Grimwood confirmed that ‘in the post-pandemic era, the need to improve one’s physical, spiritual, and mental wellbeing is already driving people to seek holistic solutions and in doing so, perhaps affect a global shift in our approach to tourism’. The two also elaborated further on the topic in the 6th General Managers Forum hosted by Hotelier Maldives on 15th September 2022 at Kurumba Maldives.
The sixth GM Forum also celebrated 50 years of tourism in the Maldives. And the opening keynote by David Keen addressed the topic, ending the session with a Q&A with two of the pioneers of Maldives tourism; MU Maniku and Hussain Afeef.
