Third-party hotel management across upscale properties in UAE and GCC
The First Group Hospitality operates a portfolio of managed hotels and leisure destinations across the UAE and GCC region. Tech stack is operational and lightweight—Opera PMS, Power BI for reporting, WordPress for web presence, with Python and SQL for custom analytics—reflecting a property-management-focused business rather than a tech platform. Hiring is operations-heavy (70% of open roles), with revenue management system adoption and F&B scaling as active initiatives, pointing toward margin optimization over expansion.
