Egypt’s hospitality sector witnesses a historic moment as the first cohort graduates from an innovative employability programme, signaling a transformative shift in the industry's dynamics. Spearheaded by the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance in collaboration with local partners, this initiative aims to enhance youth employment opportunities and foster inclusivity, thereby reshaping the sector's landscape.
Supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) under the Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition," the programme is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. Operating under the brand 'Invest for Jobs,' the initiative seeks to create quality jobs in African partner countries and improve local working conditions.
The success of this pioneering project hinges on its collaborative approach, engaging closely with hotels, food and beverage businesses, training partners, and non-profit organizations to address employment barriers, especially for young individuals, including women.
Operating initially in Cairo and Hurghada, the programme’s inaugural graduation ceremony, held at Le Méridien Hotel Airport, Cairo, marked a significant milestone. Attendees from prominent hotel chains such as Marriott International, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, and others celebrated the achievements of 50 graduates. The training, spanning three weeks of soft skills development and two months of practical experience within hotels, equipped participants for roles across various departments, including bars, restaurants, reception, and housekeeping.
Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, said “This initiative has had a tangible positive effect on local communities. I'm thrilled to congratulate the graduates, who've shown exceptional drive and leadership. This program will undoubtedly serve as a model for future employment initiatives in Egypt and globally.”
Felix Fach, Consultant GIZ, said “We congratulate the students on their graduation and are delighted the programme has had such a positive impact on the local communities. We look forward to following the graduates progress as they embark on their careers and hope to welcome more prospective students.”
Magdy Anis, General Manager of St. Regis Cairo, “Congratulations to all graduates and partners for a great achievement. We are honoured to be part of this project as it represents Marriott International's commitment to promote social justice, empower women, support their growth, and open up major opportunities for underrepresented populations in our country. By making investments in its growth, we hope to make Egypt's hospitality sector more prosperous and inclusive in the future.”
Karim Shawar, Head of Programmes at Etijah, said “We are very grateful to everyone who contributed and cooperated in creating these opportunities, and we aspire to create more opportunities for the participating youth through our collaboration.”
This initiative is part of the Alliance’s broader efforts to address systemic issues within specific destinations, with a focus on scalability and replication across the industry.
As Egypt’s youth step into the workforce equipped with newfound skills and opportunities, the programme stands as a beacon of hope, driving positive change in the country's hospitality landscape.

Manoli is set to open in early summer 2026, bringing the authentic flavours and spirit of the Greek islands to Miami’s Coconut Grove neighbourhood.
Led by Greek Chef Emmanouil Aslanoglou, the restaurant is rooted in traditional Greek culinary heritage while shaped by global experience across some of the world’s most acclaimed kitchens. Chef Aslanoglou’s journey spans Greece, the UK, Spain, and the United States, including roles at renowned establishments such as Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons and Arzak, as well as leadership positions in leading Greek restaurants.
Manoli is conceived as a table-first dining experience, where shared plates and communal eating reflect the warmth and hospitality of Greek culture. The restaurant features approximately 140 seats across indoor, outdoor, and bar spaces, designed as a neighbourhood destination that transitions seamlessly from daytime dining to lively evening gatherings.
The menu reflects a deep connection to Greek culinary tradition while embracing modern interpretation. Guests can begin with small plates such as Dolmades, Saganaki, Crispy Feta with thyme honey, Keftedes, Mediterranean Mussels, and Gyro Tacos made with Black Angus ribeye. A raw bar selection includes Bigeye Tuna Tartare, Beef Tartare, and seasonal oysters, alongside classic Avgolemono soup prepared with roasted chicken, egg, and lemon.
The offering expands into housemade pastas including Pastitsio, Makarounes, and Athenian Lobster, followed by grilled specialties such as Greek-style lamb chops, prime beef, Whole Branzino, and rotating fresh fish selections. Traditional sides like Lemon Potatoes, Horta Chicory, and hand-cut fries complete the experience.
A standout feature of the restaurant is its Dessert Trolley Service, designed to bring a theatrical, shared-dining finish to the meal. Tableside selections include Baklava, Profiteroles, Chocolate Cake, Crispy Cream Custard, and Yogurt with Preserves, along with warm Greek donuts served fresh from the kitchen.
The beverage program, titled Sober Souls Diaries, is curated by Greek Beverage Manager Fotis Mexi and draws inspiration from classical Greek tragedy, with cocktails such as Hybris, Eris, and Mira, alongside a curated selection of Greek wines and inventive mocktails.
Speaking about the concept, Chef Aslanoglou said, “Manoli is deeply personal to me. It reflects the way I grew up eating in Greece—food made with care and meant to be shared. I wanted to bring that feeling to Miami, where every table feels like home and every meal feels like a celebration.”
With its focus on authenticity, storytelling, and shared dining, Manoli aims to introduce a transportive Greek island experience to Miami, blending culture, cuisine, and hospitality into a cohesive neighbourhood destination.

As Tomorrowland prepares to return in 2026, Revel Travels is continuing its role as the exclusive official travel partner for India and the UAE, further strengthening a partnership that has developed steadily over the years.
Held in Boom, Tomorrowland has grown far beyond a music festival to become one of the world’s most recognised cultural experiences, bringing together music, large-scale stage productions, storytelling, and immersive entertainment. The 2026 edition will take place across two weekends, from July 17–19 and July 24–26.
For travellers from India and the UAE, Revel Travels plays a key role by offering official ticket access sourced directly from Tomorrowland. In a market where demand remains extremely high and ticket authenticity is often a concern, this official allocation gives travellers added confidence and reliability.
The company’s 4 Nights / 5 Days travel packages, and are designed as complete travel experiences rather than simple bookings. Guests can choose from multiple stay options, including the immersive DreamVille camping experience, centrally located hotels, and premium luxury stays such as Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp. The portfolio also includes exclusive private villas that are generally difficult to access for regular festival attendees.
At the premium end, the experience extends into luxury hospitality offerings with private villa buyouts, curated hosting environments, private boxes, and exclusive tables. These experiences can move into five-figure USD pricing, catering to travellers looking for privacy, elevated service, and premium festival access. Dedicated transfers, priority movement, and specialised pick-up and drop-off arrangements are also included for premium-zone guests.
A major focus of Revel Travels’ offering is creating a seamless journey for travellers. From visa support and round-the-clock on-ground assistance to personal delivery of Tomorrowland bracelets directly to hotels or DreamVille campsites, the company aims to simplify every stage of the experience.
Festival access is available through two pass categories, Full Madness Pass and Full Madness Comfort Pass, giving guests the option to choose between standard and upgraded entry experiences.
Speaking about the company’s approach, Sahil Wahid, Director, Revel Travel, said, “We've built our reputation on one simple promise, authentic access. Every ticket we provide comes directly from Tomorrowland through an official allocation, which removes the uncertainty that often surrounds high-demand global events. For our travellers, that assurance is as important as the experience itself.
We've always focused on simplifying what is otherwise a complex global experience. Tomorrowland is something people plan for years in advance. Our role is to ensure that once they decide to go, everything else, from access to on-ground execution, feels effortless and reliable.”
As global demand for Tomorrowland continues to grow, Revel Travels has positioned itself as more than a travel company, offering travellers curated access to one of the world’s most sought-after festival experiences.
