In this issue, we look at hospitality through the people, places, and decisions shaping how the industry grows, adapts, and connects. From The Big Nightlife Winners, celebrating the venues, teams and ideas powering the region’s nightlife scene, to The Taste of Trust, exploring Alexander Sysoev’s chef-led approach to restaurant recommendations through ByChefs, this month’s stories capture an industry built on emotion, recognition and experience.
We also explore why middle management remains vital to hotel resilience, how outdoor hospitality can move from occupancy to profitability, and why hotels are rethinking revenue beyond rooms. Alongside this, the issue looks at Qartuli’s deeply personal take on Georgian hospitality in Dubai, the UAE’s summer dining shift, new openings across the region and beyond, and the partnerships helping shape the next generation of hospitality talent.
Here’s to trust, talent, resilience, and the ideas keeping hospitality moving with heart.
