Thai hospitality firm ONYX Group has named Simon Dell as vice president and regional manager for Sri Lanka.
Dell will oversee all operations in the country with overall responsibility for its three properties OZO Colombo, OZO Kandy, and Amari Galle, opening later this year.
Dell previously held the position of vice president of operations for ONYX North Asia responsible for China and Hong Kong.
He joined the company in 2008 and has held various management positions in the hotel industry across Europe, Russia and Asia.
"The appeal of Sri Lanka as a travel destination for business and for leisure continues to rise and I look forward to the launch of the first Amari hotel and the third for ONYX Hospitality Group in this country," Dell said.
"I am committed to establishing Amari Galle as the hotel of choice for travellers and continuing the success of our two existing OZO hotels in Colombo and Kandy."
