the world is changing. All kinds of changes are taking place in the economy. But in the hospitality industry, even when it comes to luxury hotels, demand outstrips supply.
Hotels are an important catalyst in this industry, he says, adding that the success of a hotel reflects the prosperity of a city. That is why he is looking forward to the unique experience of working in a hotel in such a big city.
Now on to the topic of food. Which Bangladeshi dish does he enjoy? He did not hesitate to answer – Aloo bhorta, dal, bhaat (spicy mashed potatoes, lentils and boiled rice). It is a complete meal.
There is a general perception that Bangladeshi cuisine lacks variety and is not suitable for fine dining. He is proving it wrong. He has worked on it and expressed his resolve to take it further.
On the impact of the Covid pandemic, he says, “It was a game changer. We had seen many changes, but adapted fast. Cleanliness is always a priority in such hotels. And now a new word has been added, sanitizing.” But people are. It’s back to normal now. It’s the biggest relief. But some post-covid lifestyles are worth noting, like staycations, coworking, spacations, golfcations. People stress and risk staying for a day in hotels Getting away from. It’s a staycation. Or they come to stay at work. It’s a work place. Then some come to spend time at spas – spacations. These were marketing strategies during the Covid outbreak. After all, there was nowhere else one could go. Even in foreign countries, such migrations or spacings were quite effective at that time. Now with normalcy restored, these remain.
Golfcations is brand new. We started it, he says. We are collaborating with a world class golfer. He will give lessons. People who want to learn will come and spend time here. That’s a golfcation.
He says it will take time to recover the damage done. We should give time for that.
