Today we say goodbye to the largest hotelier in Spain. To the man who not only imagined a better Mallorca, but also a more prosperous Spain and a more united world thanks to tourism.
Gabriel Escarrer Juliá has been and will forever continue to be a reference for all of us who admire him and try to follow in his wake in the happiness industry.
Entrepreneur since he was twenty, businessman all his life. Visionary of the 20th century and also of the 21st century. No one like him knew how to see the future of our country as the first tourist destination in the world, a goal achieved in this year 2024, which – sadly – becomes the year of his goodbye.
From Indonesia to Mexico, passing through all the nations where Meliá is present today, Gabriel Escarrer shared his knowledge, experience and know-how with total generosity. There was no detail that escaped the curious and committed gaze of this great man. The rise of tourism in many places on the planet is due to this Majorcan from Porreras, who proudly carried the Spanish flag to the ends of the earth.
His entire family, led by his wife Ana María and his six children, and accompanied by his grandchildren, will keep him alive in their memory as the great husband, father and grandfather that he was to this day.
The sector will remember his exploits as a great leader and will tell about the multitude of innovations that he brought to our industry, which allowed him to always be ahead of everyone with that healthy ambition of being the best and the biggest because that is what his clients and guests wanted. of all its hotels. More places to enjoy their hospitality.
Since I was a child I have witnessed the great admiration that my father and my uncle (RIP) had for Gabriel Escarrer. I tried to return the affection that he always gave me with respect and taking advantage of each of his teachings in multiple private and institutional meetings.
Today, together with my parents and my children, friends of Mr. Gabriel Escarrer’s grandchildren, we join his entire family, encouraging them to overcome such a difficult ordeal and committed to honoring the memory of a universal Majorcan whom the whole of society owes him so much.
