Talking about the properties’ development plans, Iftikhar Hamdani, Cluster General Manager, Ramada Hotel & Suites Ajman, Ramada Beach Hotel Ajman and Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche, shares that occupancy wise, they have achieved over and above the profit margins as they are very versatile in the way they carry out business.

The continued commitment to carry on various projects, the Ramada team, with Hamdani at the helm, keep achieving great success.

CSR/ Sustainability projects
Hamdani and his team achieved many accolades and went a step further in sharing the details of success with other hoteliers so that they too contribute towards reducing carbon footprint. In the second phase, they will be looking at further educating the hoteliers on the importance how they could benefit in terms of profit by adapting some of the methods that have been tried, tested and proven to be the success behind the two Ajman properties. He was appreciative of the valuable contribution made by First Central Hotel Apartments General Manager Wael El Behi, who had undergone training with his team and eventually practised the methodologies in their property.
Hamdani’s proactive nature transcends to the team that works in tandem with him. As General Manager, he plays a pivotal role in marketing of the brand and the three properties under him. The new property due to open by the end of Q1, Wyndham Garden Ajman Corniche is currently promoted as a unique property, especially one that can host most of the requirements of the sports tourism sector in addition to the leisure and business clientele. Among the new markets, Hamdani explained that the Scandinavian region and Eastern Europe are some of the untapped markets that they are currently targeting for 2018.
Wyndham Garden will be the only property with all 179 rooms with a sea view. It will consist of state-ofthe-art facilities with a special recreation floor catering to all the needs of the health conscious traveller, pool, spa, Jacuzzi, separate male and female sauna, steam room and health club. Several dining options include a specialty seafood restaurant.
Speaking about Wyndham Garden, Hamdani states that one of the main reasons to launch this property is due to the lack of rooms in the emirate in terms of the mid-market travellers which has increased over the past few years. “We are already getting bookings from various agents across the world for Wyndham Garden as it is a unique up market property in the emirate that would give a boost to many types of travellers. In terms of occupancy, financial results and owners expectations, we have kept the name and delivered results.”
