Voco Dubai appoints new sales and marketing head

Voco Dubai, an IHG Hotel, has appointed Fady Atwan as director of sales and marketing.

The 471-room hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road was rebranded on April 1 earlier this year after a comprehensive refurbishment of the property. Different to an everyday stay, voco Dubai represents a world of effortless comfort and convenience, topped with a collection of thoughtful and playful touches that ensure an effortless stay. 

Atwan, an Egyptian national, brings with him more than 17 years of experience in sales and marketing in the hotel industry. An ambassador of IHG, he formerly served as area director of sales and marketing for IHG Abu Dhabi and director of sales and marketing of InterContinental Abu Dhabi, where his team was identified for achieving the highest Revenue Generation Index (RGI) growth in AMEA.

Prior to this, Atwan held senior sales positions in Dubai for IHG, and other notable luxury brands across a span of seven years, earning him numerous accolades. 

Atwan will now progressively heighten existing and implement new sales and marketing structures aimed at yielding higher profit and growing market share for the property amid these highly competitive times. In his role, he is also responsible for strengthening the hotel's existing partnerships, keeping an eye on new and emerging markets and promoting brand awareness. - TradeArabia News Service
