Adam Turner Joins The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai as DOSM

 Adam Turner has been appointed director of sales and marketing at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai.

Prior to moving to Dubai, Turner served for three years as director of travel industry sales for the London Global Sales Office of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company where he re-set the strategy for the luxury group’s penetration within the UK travel luxury sector.

Turner has extensive experience in customer relationship primarily through his position with British Airways as the key accounts sales manager for special markets; he managed and coached a mid-sized team of account managers, sales support and a call center sales team. Turner started his career as account manager for consumer sales in 1999 with British Airways.

“Taking the opportunity to move away from a global sales role into a more specific property position was in order to give myself something new and challenging to do,” said Turner. “My key goals are to ensure that clear market strategies are in place in readiness for the new rooms coming online in 2012 and then the fully refurbished property reintroduced in 2013, as Dubai's premier beachfront hotel.”

A British national, Turner enjoys cooking, rugby, tennis, skiing, spending time with his family and relaxing in a darkened room listening to recordings of whales’ songs.

From October 2010, The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai commenced an exciting expansion project that will add new rooms, suites, restaurant concepts and pools over a projected 24-month period. The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai will continue to welcome guests throughout the entire expansion development, and the only areas that will be closed are Plaza Ballroom, the Spa pool and part of the landscaped gardens.
