Luxury Escapes has elevated its India Country Manager, Arun Ashok to the position of Regional Head India and the Middle East, in recognition of the growing importance of these markets. In his new role, Arun Ashok will continue to grow the Indian base – Luxury Escapes’ fastest-growing international market while simultaneously exploring strategic growth opportunities in the Middle East, particularly UAE and Saudi Arabia.
“The Middle East is uniquely positioned to bounce back from Covid quicker and stronger than most markets, given their emphasis on regional travel and the aggressive vaccination drive that’s currently being executed across key locations” says Arun. “The advantage with a nimble organization like Luxury Escapes is that we can ramp up our operations in a new market like Saudi Arabia relatively quickly to capitalize on new opportunities while maintaining steady growth in our legacy international markets like India and US.”
Arun has been with Luxury Escapes for almost five years and has been instrumental in setting up the India operations from scratch. Prior to that he’s been associated with blue-chip hospitality brands like Marriott and ITC Hotels and is a Post-graduate from ISB Hyderabad.
