Arthur D. Little expands tourism consulting capabilities with Camilla Bevilacqua

Arthur D. Little has welcomed a new partner in its Travel & Transportation practice: Camilla Bevilacqua.

Originally from Italy, Camilla Bevilacqua brings over 15 years of experience to the global strategy and management consulting firm. She has been based in the Middle East since 2015, working for three consulting majors prior to her move to Arthur D. Little.

Bevilacqua advises clients across the public and private sectors on tourism, destination development and management, and real estate strategy development and activation. With a background in engineering and architecture, she has deep expertise in both management and technical advisory.

Operating out of Arthur D. Little’s Dubai office, Bevilacqua will provide counsel to the firm’s clients in the tourism sector, and spearhead the creation of a center of excellence for tourism across the Middle East.

“Tourism is recognized as a key driver for regional growth across the Middle East, requiring the creation of new ecosystems that span the public and private sector,” she said. This is an incredibly exciting time for the tourism sector in the region, and I look forward to working with my new colleagues at Arthur D. Little to deliver the support clients require to maximize this growing opportunity.”

Prior to her cross, Bevilacqua worked at PwC, where she was a Director in charge of the Destination Development and Activation offering for MENA. Prior to this, she worked for EY and Accenture in the Middle East, and in the UK and Italy, she served engineering group Arup.

Thomas Kuruvilla, Managing Partner of Arthur D. Little in the Middle East, said: “Camilla brings a diverse range of experience in tourism from strategy to activation, deep knowledge of the Middle East market and a truly global, multidisciplinary approach. She has an impressive track record in supporting and developing clients and teams that makes her the perfect fit for our fast-growing Travel & Transportation practice.”
