While she hadn’t revealed her new position at the time, Ms Azzopardi had stated that she is “excited” and “looking forward” to it.

Aside from working at IHG Hotels & Resorts, she also gained valuable hospitality experience from a number of other companies throughout her career.

She also worked as Revenue & e-Commerce Manager at Preferred Hotels & Resorts, and also Yield Manager at Kempinski Hotels.

Established in Mallorca, Spain in 1956, Meliá Hotels International operates more than 400 hotels across over 40 countries, under 10 different brands, and is now one of Spain’s largest domestic operators of holiday resorts. The chain is set to expand to Malta through the opening of three hotels in St Julian’s, named Levante Hotel, Scirocco Hotel, and Mistral Hotel, all of which are being developed by CF Estates Ltd and its subsidiaries. Meliá Hotels International will provide hotel operation and management services, following an agreement with CF Estates.
