Last week, RLA Global’s Group CEO, Roger Allen, moderated a CEO panel at the Longevity Med Summit in Lisbon. The session, titled:
“Integrating Wellness Medicine in Hospitality for Transformative Experiences”, brought together key voices from the global wellness sector to explore how longevity and medical wellness are impacting hospitality’s future.
Panellists included:
Dr. Maria Ridao Alonso, MD, MSc – Maison Santé Clinic, Dubai
Dr. Issac Mathai – SOUKYA Holistic Health Centre, India
Nazir Sacoor – Longevity Wellness Worldwide, Algarve
Roger Allen – RLA Global (Panel Chair)
The conversation addressed:
The rising demand for evidence-based, personalized wellness experiences
The operational and strategic challenges of integrating medical wellness into hospitality environments
The evolving investor interest in wellness-aligned hospitality assets
The Summit also provided the opportunity to enjoy an evening of deeper connection and exchange — over a fantastic dinner with Simon Saunders (VP of Strategic Health and Wellness, RLA Global), Dr. Maria Alonso, Dr. Isaac Mathai, and Barry van Doornewaard (Founder & CEO, FreshBed).
