Meeting Point, the hotel management company with its businesses in the south of Gran Canaria and which has transferred its management from Sonneland to Las Palmas, has begun to prepare the exit of some mature operations in the south of the island, admitting the resignation of Ángel Rivero and placing Humberto Moreno in his place.
As Granma would do in Cuba to refer to a purged communist position. The official tourist press calls Rivero's resignation as "made available." In his place comes a hotel executive who knows the business very well. The official media of Las Palmas have left a very important piece of information for the last paragraph: he has been a senior asset manager at Hotel Investment Partners (HIP) from 2021 to 2023. HIP is owned by the Blackstone fund, owner of a good part of the hotel beds in the south of Gran Canaria, although managed, not rented as they say, to firms such as Barceló, Dunas or IFA Hotels.
After HIP Moreno entered in 2023 as Director of Operations of Meeting Point Hotels and presents himself as "interim" general director as of September 1, after the current CEO, Ángel Rivero, leaves the company at his own request on September 31 of August. Meeting Point, which has a good part of its Spanish business in Gran Canaria, said that Moreno comes to take greater advantage of the "locations" of FTI's assets on the island.
In his new role, Moreno will work closely with Enrique Sánchez, CFO of MPH Spain, and Venancio Lorente, director of Meeting Point International Spain, who will act as general directors. The director of the FTI Group Hotels unit, Sabine Dorn, has had words of praise for Humberto Moreno, who joined the company in April 2023, but not for Rivero, mediator of FTI interests until now and since March 2020. Dorn has mentioned: "his continued dedication and hard work to prosper in Spain until now." He arrived at the company 4 months ago. The new party manager has worked at Anfi Beach Club, of the Anfi Group, for three and a half years; in various positions as hotel director at Lopesan from 2010 to 2016, and as general manager of Maspalomas and Tabaiba Princess for just under four years. Most recently he was Senior Asset Manager at Hotel Investment Partners (HIP) from 2021 to 2023.
