On the new properties, Chief Operating Officer Patrick Antaki said the group’s strategic partnership in the Saudi market is currently witnessing solid performance rates across all economic sectors.
He emphasized the group’s strategy of expanding its hotel portfolio in the region’s markets, primarily targeting the Saudi market due to the robust growth of its hospitality sector.
Saudi Tourism aims to raise the kingdom’s annual visitor numbers to 100 million by 2030, contributing to an increase of 10 per cent in the country’s GDP, he added.
Antaki pointed out that HMH managed hotels have welcomed over 800,000 guests over the past year, recording a 24 per cent growth compared to 2021, and forecasted the group’s hotel will witness a 20 per cent growth in guest numbers this year.
