LAURENT A. VOIVENEL, SVP OPERATIONS & DEVELOPMENT, SWISS-BELHOTEL INTERNATIONAL, SPEAKS ON INNOVATIVE GLASS TRENDS IN HOTELS AT GULF GLASS SEMINAR IN DUBAI

Laurent A. Voivenel, Senior Vice President, Operations and Development for the Middle East, Africa and India for Swiss-Belhotel International, made a special presentation today on innovative glass trends in hotels at the Gulf Glass Seminar in Dubai.

Speaking at the conference, Laurent said, “For many years, glass was simply seen as a window in architecture with the fundamental purpose of allowing light to enter a space and for occupants to see outside. However, today glass technology has advanced rapidly, and it is being used in some of the world’s most iconic buildings. Structures are getting thinner and glass is getting larger, smarter and trendier. Burj Khalifa utilized a record-breaking 103,000 square meters of glass. Glass has also been used extensively in construction of Dubai Frame – the world’s largest frame. Another great example is Dubai’s Museum of Future where 890 stainless steel and fibre glass panels make up the exterior. At Swiss-Belhotel International too, we have some stunning projects coming up with beautiful glass structures.”

Elaborating on the latest glass technology, Laurent stated, “Glass is becoming smarter and smarter. One of the most promising new technologies in the field of intelligent glass is dynamically switchable glasses. These glass types use electronic control to vary their light and heat transmission, either manually or through pre-programmed control logic.”

Another outstanding recent development has been the use of glass as a source of energy. Laurent stressed, “Environmentally-responsive coatings allow solar heat gain transmission to change throughout the day. With use of such technology hotels can enjoy the flexibility of both low light consumption as well as low HVAC expenses.”

Talking about the usage of glass in interior design, Laurent said, “Hotel guests are getting younger. The hospitality business needs to adapt to new demographics and give guests what they want. We are seeing more open and clear spaces in hotels, and less walls resulting in greater use of glass. At the same time, coloured glass remains a hot favourite in interior design and will surely be an important material for hotels going forward.”

Telcos today play a key role in enabling a digital economy, says Etisalat Chief

Today digital proliferates the telecom industry with digital services deeply embedded in our business models. We are also enablers for other industries providing connectivity solutions to grow in the digital economy, said Hatem Dowidar, CEO International, Etisalat, in his opening remarks at Telecoms World Middle East and Carriers World Middle East 2019.

“Etisalat pioneered the 5G launch in the MENA region through its commitment and focused efforts on key strategic priorities that has enabled smarter digital offerings and transformed the ecosystem. This has opened up opportunities to engage with business and customers in new ways.”

The 15th Telecoms World Middle East and Carriers World Middle East is ongoing at Conrad Hotel in Dubai on 24-25 September. The event is among the biggest and most influential telecom events in the region focusing on the latest developments transforming the telecoms industry, such as 5G networks, AI and automation. Discussions covered strategy, innovation and partnerships for the telecoms ecosystem.

Etisalat chief executives were part of panel discussions and roundtables moderated by global and regional experts in the region. Hatem Bamatraf, CTO, Etisalat International, was a key panelist in the opening CEO keynote panel on ‘Driving digital transformation in TMT: a 2030 vision’. Key topics were reinventing the current telco to thrive in the future, offering a multi-service player with a wide range of digital services; developing the most efficient business models and strategies to grow in the digital era. These discussion topics are in line with Etisalat’s overall strategy of ‘Driving the Digital Future to Empower Societies’.

Dr Kamal Shehadi, Chief Legal and Regulatory Affairs Officer, Etisalat International, participated in a keynote panel on ‘5G rollout: will the Gulf win the race?’. Panelists deliberated on a wide range of issues, including tapping into the 360 million mobile subscribers in the region; examining the need for private sector investment to deliver 5G goals; explaining the economic benefits and social benefits of next generation network deployment; and evaluating the necessary regulations to enable deployment and causes for concern.

Ali Amiri, Group Chief Carrier and Wholesale Officer, Etisalat, took part in a panel discussion on ‘Breaking boundaries in the ME: what opportunities lie ahead?’ A multitude of topics were discussed such as accessing emerging markets in the Middle East (ME) for global and regional carriers, capitalising on the geographical advantage of the UAE and neighboring countries, and driving the ME to become the subsea terminal hub between Europe and the Far East.

The panel also looked into highlighting best practice to avoid cable congestion; improving connectivity between existing subsea cables; and boosting capacity to meet the massive growth in data, IP and content demands between Asia and West Africa via the Middle East.

Other Etisalat senior executives who participated in panel discussions were Omar Al Zaabi, Vice President – Product & Capacity Management, Etisalat; and José L. López-Villén, Director of Open Innovation & IoT Partnerships, Etisalat.

On the event’s second day, Gonçalo Fernandes, Senior Director Emerging Technologies and Design, Etisalat Digital, will take part in a ‘fireside chat’ on ‘Blockchain for telecoms: a new digital transformation tool’. Robert Middlehurst, Vice President/Regulatory Affairs, Etisalat International, will share his insights into ‘Regulating AI: a matter of urgency?’

Abid Mustafa, Director Strategy and Customer Experience PMO, Etisalat, will present a case study on ‘Documenting Etisalat’s Robotic Process Automation (RPA) journey’. He will cite the benefits of effectively automating human interaction with computer software to carry out tasks autonomously; increasing responsiveness to disruption by streamlining tasks; and keeping the end user in mind by overcoming major challenges.

Emirates Flight Catering announces major investment in solar energy; cuts carbon emissions from electrical consumption by 15%

Emirates Flight Catering (EKFC), one of the world’s largest catering operations, has successfully commissioned a state-of-the-art solar power system across its premises, which is expected to deliver an annual reduction of 3 million kg of greenhouse gas emissions. This is part of EKFC’s continued investment in infrastructure to improve resource efficiency.

EKFC’s latest initiative supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, in 2015. Under the strategy, the Emirate aims to produce 75 per cent of its energy requirements from clean sources by 2050.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, said: “Sustainability is an important pillar of the Emirates Group strategy. We are committed to responsible business and environmental stewardship, and we apply eco-efficient technologies across our operations to minimise our impact even as we continue to grow. Emirates Flight Catering’s latest initiatives open new opportunities to improve resource efficiency, underpinning Dubai’s strategy to become a global centre of clean energy and green economy.”

Saeed Mohammed, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates Flight Catering, said: “We are excited to announce another significant, long-term investment in our sustainable operations. Our state-of-the-art solar power plant helps us further optimise resources and enhance environmental efficiency, which will benefit all of our stakeholders, including our customers, employees and the communities around us. In line with our appetite for perfection, we stay committed to providing the best possible quality products and services to our customers using sustainable and innovative solutions.”

EKFC’s solar rooftop power plant comprises 8,112 individual solar panels. It is expected to generate 4,195 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, allowing the company to reduce traditional energy consumption by 15% across its laundry, food manufacturing and staff accommodation facilities. Consequently, EKFC’s carbon dioxide emission will decrease by 3 million kilogram annually – the equivalent of the annual electricity use of 518 family homes.

EKFC recognises that environmental responsibility is core to its long-term success and is committed to using resources in a sustainable manner and minimising the environmental impact of its operations across all activities.

EKFC will shortly start constructing the world’s largest vertical farming facility in a joint venture with US-based Crop One, an industry leader. The 130,000 square foot controlled environment facility will produce 2,700 kilogram of high quality, herbicide- and pesticide-free leafy greens daily, using 99 percent less water than outdoor fields. Its location will enable quick delivery of fresh products within hours of harvest, maintaining the food’s nutritional value and reducing carbon emissions associated with transportation. The first products are expected to be delivered to Emirates Flight Catering’s customers in 2020.

EKFC runs a comprehensive recycling programme, ensuring recyclable items, including plastic bottles, aluminium cans and foil, are separated from galley waste after they are removed from the aircraft. The company also has all cardboard packaging and office paper waste recycled into new paper products.

Every month, EKFC diverts over 270,000 kilograms of material from landfill and ensures the recycling of 130,000 kilograms of cardboard, 4,000 kilograms of paper, 14,000 kilograms of aluminium cans and foil, 120,000 kilograms of glass bottles and 10,000 kilograms of plastic bottles.

Fast facts:

  • This solar power project reduces Emirates Flight Catering’s carbon dioxide emissions per annum by 2,968,568 kg. This is the equivalent of:
    • 1,264,130 litres of petrol fuel consumption
    • The annual electricity consumption of 518 family homes
  • 8,112 individual solar panels installed
  • Eight Emirates Flight Catering facilities included in this solar power project
  • Annual energy bill reduction of 1.86m AED
  • Annual production of 4,195 Megawatt Hours

The Middle East is the third largest growth market for Swiss-Belhotel International after Asia, New Zealand and Australia. Laurent stressed, “With 17% of our global portfolio of hotels centered in the Middle East and Africa region, comprising 3000 rooms, it is a very important region for us. Overall our strategy is to accelerate expansion across the MENA region whereby we have mapped out exciting opportunities. Our target is to have 25 hotels representing approximately 6000 rooms in the region.

CEO of LEVA Hotels & Resorts Speaks at Hospitality Leadership Forum at The Hotel Show on the Challenges of Positioning an Independent Brand in a Competitive Market

JS Anand, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of LEVA Hotels & Resorts, highlighted the significance of developing effective pricing and promotional strategies to maximize spent at the Hospitality Leadership Forum at The Hotel Show. Participating in a panel discussion on strategies of promoting hotels recently, he spoke about the significance of digital marketing and search engine optimization in the current times.

Responding to the question ‘How can new brands strategize their offers for guests?’, Anand stressed, “The cost of doing business is far more for independent brands such as ours when compared to global brands. When it comes to promoting ourselves we must first of all look at the location. LEVA Mazaya Centre is strategically situated in close vicinity to some of Dubai’s biggest landmarks and attractions such as the City Walk, Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa to name a few. We know our source markets and prominent among those are Saudi Arabia, Russia, France and Germany. Therefore, our marketing strategies are defined around growing those markets while tapping new ones.”

So, how can international travellers find brands such as LEVA which are new in the market? Anand stated, “We have a lot happening on social media right now and we are also very well positioned on major OTAs such as the booking.com In addition, we are working very closely with strategic travel agents and DMCs in key markets. Is it a challenge for us to position ourselves? Absolutely, since we don’t have the colossal marketing budgets of international brands or the giant loyalty programmes. What is essential is to understand the consumer behaviour and what they want. Equally important is the online reputation management which has a direct impact on demand.”

How is Airbnb affecting your market? Anand said, “Airbnb has taken a major share of the market, that is for sure. Does Airbnb affect short-term stakes? Totally, it does because the accessibility of the app is brilliant.”

In reply to ‘So, what do you do about it?’ Anand stressed, “Give them a hug, work with them. You have so many players in the market, you need come up with strategies that benefit your brand. We know it is a highly competitive market. Dubai is a fantastic market to learn from … where it is, where it is going, it is just making it affordable for everyone and it will keep growing as a destination.”
