Kamal Khalil, spa & recreation director, Phoenicia InterContinental Beirut sprinted up to the stage at Le Meriden Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre to collect his accolade at the 14th Hotelier Awards

When asked about peoples’ attitudes towards fitness in the region, Khalil said: “People are much more health conscious and fitness is now the key to destress and get away from busy routines. More and more, people are seeing the mental benefits of exercise”.

Khalil, who was recognised by the judges for commitment and dedication to the wellness field and taking personal initiative to integrate healthy activities for both hotel employees and guests also commented on fitness trends: “Exercise that leads to mindfulness are popular - sound healing and yoga where they focus on breathing. People want to switch off”.
