Marriott executive wins Asia-Pacific revenue award

A Fiji-based Marriott executive has been recognised for outstanding revenue performance across the Asia-Pacific region.

Marriott International's Cluster Director of Revenue Management – Pacific Islands, Juan Munoz, received the APEC Q1 2026 Revenue Strategy Special Achievement Award in recognition of his contribution to revenue performance across the region.

Mr Munoz credited his team for the achievement, describing the award as recognition of their collective effort.

Originally from Murcia in southern Spain, Mr Munoz has spent about a decade in the tourism industry. He began his career with Marriott in Sydney before taking up roles in Belgium and Fiji.

He said his move to Fiji came after seeking an opportunity in the Pacific.

"I was applying for opportunities in Australia and Fiji. When the opportunity came here, it was a perfect match. I like fishing and going out on the boat, so it suited me," he said.

Mr Munoz has worked across several Marriott properties, including Sheraton on the Park in Sydney, Sheraton Brussels in Belgium, and Marriott hotels in Fiji and Samoa.

His current portfolio includes Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort, Sheraton Fiji Denarau Villas, Sheraton Resort & Spa, Sheraton Tokoriki Resort, Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay and Marriott properties in Samoa.

The award recognises revenue management performance across Marriott hotels in the Asia-Pacific region, including commercial strategies that drive revenue growth.

Mr Munoz said the recognition reflected the work of his team.

"The award was really because of my team's efforts. They are the ones who have put in fantastic work over the last 12 months to get the hotels where they need to be," he said.

"My role has been to make sure they have the right platform to implement their ideas and strategies, and they have done a fantastic job."

He said the team remained focused on developing its skills, identifying opportunities and improving performance.

"My job is really to make sure they elevate their performance. The award is really about the team putting in a fantastic effort," he said.
