Nelson Gomes, marketing manager at InterContinental Al-Jubail, has been named as the “Young Hotelier of the Year” during the recently concluded 14th Hotelier Middle East Awards, held on Oct. 24 at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel and Conference Centre.
Gomes was recognized by the judges’ panel for his achievements within a short span of time and for being consistent.
“This is the third time that the InterContinental Al-Jubail hotel has been recognized at this prestigious awards,” said Fahad Al-Sayegh, general manager of the hotel.
The award aims to reward the often-unrecognized individuals that make the region’s hotels some of the very best in the world. This year, the awards ceremony was inspired by Indian cinema, making it a night of vibrant colors, filled with tastes and sounds of the Indian culture.
Guests were encouraged to dress in traditional Indian wear.
