Saudi Arabian wellness expert joins Arabian Travel Market symposium

Mr. Talal Mohammed Bin Ali will be joining the Arabian Travel Maket (ATM) Wellness Travel Symposium to discuss the future of wellness travel in Saudi Arabia. Mr. Talal Bin Ali has considerable experience as the former CEO of MENA’s largest pharmacy chain Al-Nahdi; founder of Enaya Care, Saudi Arabia’s first salon and spa chain; along with CutZone, a group of male-branded neighborhood salons targeting youth.

The ATM Wellness Travel Symposium will be co-moderated by Susie Ellis, Chairman & CEO of the Global Wellness Institute, and Dr. Franz Linser, CEO of Linser Hospitality and Chair of the GWI’s Wellness Tourism Initiative.

New research and illuminating trends impacting Middle East destinations will be presented, including a shift from “generic luxury” to authentic wellness, and the symposium will include a panel of experts identifying stand-out wellness destinations and spas in the Middle East. The symposium will also provide an analysis of government’s role in wellness tourism, and a close look at the indigenous traditions in wellness and beauty across the Arabian Peninsula, and how destinations can maximize their authenticity and differentiation.

The Arabian Travel Market Wellness Travel Symposium will be held at the Dubai International Exhibition and Convention Centre in the Showcase Theatre on April 25 from 2:45 to 5:30 pm.
