Mr. Wolter brings more than 22 years of management experience at
leading hotel properties across Europe, the Middle East and Asia to the
Waldhaus Flims. Most recently, he served as the General Manager of The

Ajman, UAE, where he oversaw the property's opening and managed a team
of 170 employees. Prior to that, he served as the General Manager at

five-star rating. Since 2016, state-of-the-art technology has been
implemented throughout the resort. The main lobby was remodeled and the

fitness facilities. Additionally, each of the resort's four
restaurants, as well as the rooms and suites in the Grand Hotel and
Villa Silvana, were renovated to provide a more contemporary look and
feel.

destinations around the world, and I am confident that he will be a
great addition to the Waldhaus Flims,” said James Zenni, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Z Capital Group. “The Alps have long been the
