Designing and Constructing Hotels to Meet the Demand of Egypt's Tourism Boom

Egypt is currently witnessing an unparalleled boom in tourism which is propelling this historic nation to the forefront of the developing tourism industry. Recent statistics on Euromonitor International indicate that, in the past four years, tourism revenue has increased by 40%. In order to further increase national income from tourism, the country has directed part of the foreign investment capital to construct new hotels to accommodate the growing number of tourists. This trend is the driving force for IQPC's Hotel Design and Construction Egypt which will take place from 12 - 15 December 2010.

Jesse Olsen has been appointed as Executive Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano

Chef Olsen began his culinary career in 1989, working as a chef for a popular fish restaurant in Washington State before joining the city’s prestigious Bellevue Athletic Club and Hotel as Banquet Cook. After five years’ experience and having honed his culinary skills, he joined Four Seasons Hotel Olympic, Seattle, in September 1994. The knowledge and experience he gained at Four Seasons Hotel Olympic was invaluable, and subsequently led to his appointment as Sous Chef later in 1999. In 2001 Olsen transferred to Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara in the same capacity. Olsen’s proficiency and passion for his trade resulted in his promotion to Executive Sous Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverley Hills in 2005, followed by a move to the Middle East and a similar role at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza in 2007.

Looking back at almost three years of successfully managing both the hotel and resort with protel's multi property edition

"When we started to use protel PMS in 2006, we realized that we had taken a major technological step towards the future. We invested a great deal of time in the selection process before we settled for protel MPE PMS via CIHOST Egypt. And we quickly discovered that managing multiple properties using protel makes our life easy. I can also assert that having a company like CIHOST Egypt for implementation and support leads to a new level of success. They really care, starting with tiny setup details to reports right up to the entire business concept. It's not only their slogan: customer satisfaction is their top priority.
