Fahad Abdulrahim Kazim - Millennium Hotels & Resort | Insights & stories about hospitality in the Middle East

Fahad Abdulrahim Kazim, CEO of Millennium Hotels & Resorts MEA,
joined Fritz at the FHS in Riyadh for a chat about Saudi Arabia’s
booming travel market, the plans of Millennium Hotels & Resorts
in the middleeast and African region, and the future of brand
evolution. Fahad found his true calling in hospitality through
numbers. He went from accounting to real estate and landed in
hospitality with a passion for showcasing Saudi Arabia’s beauty to
the world. The Vision 2030 and the country’s transformation coming
with it are spectacular. Today’s travelers crave authentic
experiences, and Saudiarabia delivers – stunning landscapes, rich
culture, and history. And the food! Ever tried local Saudi honey?
It’s not just about breakfast; it’s about tasting the essence of
the land. Millennium thrives in sustainability and unforgettable
experiences – including local produce, farm visits, and cultural
interactions. Guests book more than just a room; they book a story.
For Fahad, it’s the best of both worlds – memorable experiences and
earth care. Stick around for the “not so easy” SMACK questions
challenge at the end, which Fahad bravely faced and successfully
conquered. Enjoy the show!
