MUSCAT -- The Wave Muscat showcased a diverse range of career options along with graduate development opportunities to talented Omani youths who are envisaged to be future hoteliers at the National Hospitality Institute's 15 year Anniversary Exhibition. As a future extension of Muscat's hotel district in the heart of the capital, the master-planned community will ultimately be home to four hotels, two of which are Kempinski The Wave Muscat and Fairmont The Wave Muscat, resplendent with a multitude of luxury facilities for residents and guests to enjoy.
Vital for economic growth and job creation, the domestic tourism sector is expected to contribute more than 3 per cent to the national GDP by 2018. From the onset, The Wave Muscat has positioned itself as a partner in the growth and development of the industry, supporting the Ministry of Tourism's efforts hand in hand to achieve the goals set out by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos in Vision 2020.
"We congratulate the National Hospitality Institute for being the driving force of the hospitality industry in the Sultanate over the last 15 years," said Abdullah al Shidi, Deputy CEO at The Wave, Muscat. "We are devoted to developing a solid and unrivalled home-grown hospitality foundation and workforce comprised of motivated Omanis dedicated to advancing the tourism sector with passion and vigor."
During the three-day exhibition, The Wave Muscat scouted and identified talented candidates in accordance with the project's high operational and employment standards. The Fairmont The Wave, Muscat Hotel will offer 300 rooms and suites adjacent to the Greg Norman 18-hole PGA Links course, the Sultanate's first sea facing golf course, and will also house the luxurious Willow Stream Spa.
The Kempinski The Wave Muscat Hotel and Serviced Apartments will boast over 300 rooms and suites in addition to 68 hotel apartments strategically located on the remarkable beachfront along Al Marsa Village, which offers a unique environment and constitutes several investment viabilities.
When completed in 2013, both hotels will offer a multitude of indoor and outdoor dining options, entertainment, state-of-the-art meeting and leisure facilities, swimming pools, beach clubs and bowling centres amongst others.
