Now, the team is working diligently and committedly to support our hotels and communities during this transitional period, in readiness to welcome the new executive leadership and provide support.”

He added, “While my decision to leave is a difficult one, I feel a sense of relief when I see that General Hotel Management Ltd. is thriving with numerous accomplishments, and its future remains bright.”

The company is expected to announce the appointment of a new CEO in early November.
