Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s largest hotel franchising companies, welcomed senior representatives from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), the UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism, and leading hospitality and real estate organisations to a cocktail reception held ahead of FHS World Dubai 2026.
Hosted at TRYP by Wyndham Dubai on 28 September, the evening brought together government and tourism stakeholders, hotel owners, developers and consultants to connect and exchange perspectives on the continued development of the UAE’s hospitality sector.

When Hamad Al Khater became group chief executive of Qatar Airways in December 2025, he inherited one of the world’s most internationally recognised airline brands. He also inherited an unusually interconnected business: a global carrier, Hamad International Airport, cargo, ground handling, catering, retail and tourism interests all organised around Doha’s role as a transfer hub.
Al Khater arrived with direct experience of that operating system. Before taking the group role, he was chief operating officer of Hamad International Airport, where he worked on capacity, service quality and the complex coordination required at a fast-growing global gateway. Earlier in his career he held senior roles at QatarEnergy, giving him experience in a major national enterprise outside aviation. That combination of infrastructure discipline and state-enterprise management helps explain his selection.

There are airline leaders, airport leaders and destination leaders. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum has spent much of his career operating across all three categories at once. As chairman and chief executive of Emirates Airline and Group, chairman of Dubai Airports and chairman of flydubai, he sits at the junction where Dubai’s aviation capacity, network reach and visitor economy meet.
That position was not created overnight. Sheikh Ahmed began his aviation career in 1985, the year Emirates launched. The assignment was audacious: build an international airline for a city that wanted to become a global trading and tourism hub, but did not yet possess the scale, connectivity or visitor infrastructure associated with one. Emirates grew by making Dubai the connecting point, using widebody aircraft, long-haul routes and a service proposition that promoted the city every time the airline entered a new market.
