April 25, 2023

Yas Island Abu Dhabi, the world’s leading leisure and entertainment destination, appoints Jason Momoa to be the destination’s newest Chief Island Officer. American actor Jason Momoa assumes the former role of stand-up comedian Kevin Hart who announced the end of his reign as Chief Island Officer earlier this year, after making Yas Island hart-to-beat.

In the new trailer video, Jason is seen making a casual yet epic entrance on a paddle board announcing that his calling has led him to “this ridiculously awesome job”, as the façade of W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island is lit up to welcome Jason officially, as the new Chief Island Officer of Yas Island Abu Dhabi. In his first statement as Yas Island’s new CIO, Jason Momoa looks forward to showing fans how they can #LiveItUpLikeMomoa.

Liam Findlay, CEO of Miral Destinations said, “We are pleased to appoint Hollywood sensation Jason Momoa as the new Chief Island Officer for Yas Island Abu Dhabi. We received resounding feedback following Kevin’s Hart farewell campaign and we are excited to deliver yet another successful storyline for fans to follow. As Yas Island Abu Dhabi continues to entertain guests with best-in-class experiences and with offerings that resonate with visitors from all over the world, we look forward to raising the bar even higher in the days to come with Jason Momoa as the island’s newest Chief Island Officer.”
