Commenting on EAHM’s involvement, Ron Hilvert, Managing Director mentioned, “We are committed to supporting our Emirati friends achieve their career aspirations. It is indeed encouraging to see more Emiratis taking a keen interest and starting their own businesses within the hospitality and tourism industry.”
