Radisson Blu Sohar gets new general manager
Known for its wonderful combination of ageless heritage and modern life, Oman is a country of contrasts. Famous for its amazing natural beauty, every region has a range of mountains that surround villages, beaches, islands and wadis. Regardless of its natural beauty, the sultanate’s unique charm and hospitality is deeply rooted in the Omani people as well as their long-standing traditions and culture.
With this in mind Radisson Hotel Group announced the appointment of Salah Hamdan Mohammed al Mamari as general manager of Radisson Blu Hotel, Sohar. He joined the hotel in 2014 as Rooms Division manager, before being promoted to executive assistant manager in 2018.
Recognised for being amongst the world’s most hospitable people, Mamari has been a perfect example for Oman’s well-deserved reputation. His immense potential to rise above the expected paved the way for him, allowing him to grow and take on new responsibilities. Exceeding guest expectations and treating guests as he would like to be treated, are at the heart of Mamari’s service philosophy.
Born in Sohar, Mamari kickedoff his career in 2004 when he joined the InterContinental Muscat. His ambition and drive was soon rewarded and Mamari was offered a position as duty manager at the Crowne Plaza, Muscat. A few years later he rejoined the InterContinental Muscat, where he headed up several managerial positions both in the Front Office and Rooms Division department. In line with Oman’s Vision 2040, Radisson Hotel Group’s aim is to become the goto hotelier for local guests and business travelers whilst empowering the Omani working population simultaneously.
Mamari’s promotion reinforces Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to nurture and shape careers of talented Omanis in the industry.
Panos Panagis, general manager of Hormuz Grand Muscat, A Radisson Collection Hotel, and district director of Radisson Hotel Group, Oman, said, “We aim to empower the younger generation and support them with their dreams while encouraging them to be part of such a diverse and exciting industry.”
