Join Carl as he explores the fascinating world of hotel investment with Elie Milky, Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group.
They unpack the strategic side of hotel development across Dubai and the UAE, diving into how Radisson partners with investors, builds long-term strategies, and navigates both the challenges and opportunities in the hospitality investment space.
Carl uncovers why Radisson Hotel Group doesn’t actually own any of their hotels and why there’s still plenty of room in Dubai for them to double their portfolio!
