Dimitrios Buhalis at Hippocrates Palace Hotel in Kos Greece
Dimitrios Buhalis has been co-creating industry innovations and knowledge as well as advocating best professional practice around the world, particularly in:
Since he started working as an assistant waiter in Athens, Greece, at the age of 12, he has been working tirelessly to create excellence in service and marketing and to reengineer organisations in order to achieve competitive advantage. His experience as hospitality manager, chief photographer at the Club Med, and manager in travel and retail businesses, as well as his engagement as advisor for many organisations and governments around the world, enable him to be customer-focused and to dynamically co-create value with all stakeholders.
