Gabriel Escarrer, Chairman & CEO: “Meliá Hotels International reaches its 70th Anniversary with a positive balance of the 2025 financial year, a year that once again put the resilience of tourism to the test. Despite unprecedented geopolitical and trade tensions in a global environment shaped by constant and accelerated change, travel demand remained robust, posting solid and healthy growth, though more moderate than in the previous two years, when the sector experienced the major post‑pandemic rebound. In 2025, global tourism recorded growth in Travel & Tourism GDP of around 6%, almost twice that of the overall economy, reinforcing tourism as one of the world’s most relevant economic engines.
Against this backdrop, the global trend of prioritizing spending on travel and experiences over material goods continues to validate Meliá Hotels International’s strategy of combining more qualitative, profitable growth with the ambition to build a more resilient and responsible Company. It has also provided a favorable environment for us to continue capitalizing on market trends, thanks to our strong positioning in resort and bleisure (urban leisure) hospitality and to the discipline of our long‑standing strategy.
As a result, our financial performance in 2025 was once again very positive. We maintained our commitment to a healthy balance sheet, keeping the Net Financial Debt/EBITDA ratio below 2.2x, without compromising sustained growth—driven primarily by capital‑light models and strategic alliances. Business performance was equally strong, with a mid‑single‑digit increase in average revenue per room (RevPAR), supported slightly more by increases in average daily rate than by occupancy. Altogether, our results surpass those recorded in our historical series, reinforcing our strategic roadmap to continue building a more resilient Company capable of delivering greater long‑term value for all our shareholders....

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2026
Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.
Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.
We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.
Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
While membership spots for 2026 are limited, it's not too late to renew.- Read more her
