HANS Haensel, Emirates Group’s senior vice president, destination & leisure management division, passed away in Dubai on Monday.
A sad note from Arabian Adventures, Congress Solutions International, Emirates Holidays and Timeless Spa said: “As you would imagine, he remained standing and braving Mother Nature up to the last minute, but the odds were just not fair.
“Hans was an exceptional man in many ways, as demanding as he was humane, as loyal to his staff as he was dedicated to his employers. In the words of Emirates’ President Tim Clark, ‘his contribution both to the development of tourism in Dubai and to the company’s leisure division over the last 20 years was immeasurable’.”
A memorial service will be held in Dubai, the date and details of which will be published at a later stage.
