AMMAN — Hani Al-Dabbas, Hotel Manager of Crowne Plaza Amman, has qualified among the top 10 candidates for the Hotel Manager of the Year Award for 2026, as part of the Hotelier Middle East Awards, one of the premier specialized professional awards in the hotel and hospitality sector at the regional level. This qualification comes in recognition of his career spanning more than 21 years in the hospitality industry and his achievements in operational management, enhancing institutional performance, elevating service quality, and developing human capabilities. This reflects the presence of Jordanian expertise and its ability to compete in a rapidly evolving regional hotel sector. The Hotelier Middle East Awards represent one of the prominent regional platforms honoring excellence in the hospitality industry. Entering its 22nd edition in 2026, the awards comprise 35 categories covering various hotel specializations. The awards aim to highlight leaders and professionals who have made a tangible impact on operational performance, guest experience, talent development, sustainability, and innovation, based on criteria focusing on professional achievements and results. Al-Dabbas's qualification among the top 10 candidates marks a significant milestone in his career, during which he rose through leadership positions within the global InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), culminating in leading hotel operations at Crowne Plaza Amman. This is alongside his contributions to developing the Jordanian tourism sector through his role as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Jordan Hotel Association and as a Board Member of the Jordan Tourism Board. Al-Dabbas emphasized that this qualification extends beyond personal recognition to reflect the competence of Jordanian cadres and their ability to compete regionally. He pointed out that successful hotel management is no longer measured by financial indicators alone, but by the ability to build qualified teams, achieve a balance between operational efficiency, guest experience, and sustainability, and transform excellence into an ongoing institutional culture. He added that true investment in the hospitality sector begins with people, and that what has been achieved is the fruit of teamwork and a professional culture based on empowering employees, developing leaders, and creating growth opportunities, expressing his pride in representing Jordan and Crowne Plaza Amman in this regional competition. The winners are scheduled to be announced during the Hotelier Middle East Awards 2026 ceremony, hosted in Dubai on November 11, with the participation of an elite group of leaders from the region's hotel and hospitality industry.
