Rotana, one of the leading hotel management companies in the region, is set to open three new properties in Saudi Arabia in the coming months, said a top official at a key travel industry event being held in London.
 
Rotana currently operates 68 properties in 25 cities across 14 countries in the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Turkey. These offer a combined total of 18,018 rooms across several distinct brands, which cater to the needs of all types of travellers.
 
In the Middle East region, Saudi Arabia continues to remain a key focus for Rotana’s expansion plans, stated its Acting CEO Guy Hutchinson on the sidelines of the World Travel Market (WTM) London 2019.
 
A major player in the region with hotels across the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Turkey, Rotana is showcasing its diverse collection of hotels, including its new Eastern European property Bosmal Arjaan by Rotana in Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the expo which concludes tomorrow (November 6).
 
This year marks Rotana’s 13th consecutive participation at one of the biggest annual gatherings for the global travel industry, which brings together more than 51,000 international travel-trade professionals under one roof for unrivalled networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
 
The event, being held at ExCeL London, provides Rotana with an outstanding platform for engagement with key stakeholders, partners and customers in the UK market, said a statement from the hospitality group.
 
One of the key points of interest for delegates is Rotana’s entry to the Eastern European market with the opening of the Bosmal Arjaan by Rotana in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it stated.
 
Strategically located in Sarajevo’s Bosmal City Centre complex, the new hotel features 132 suites, in addition to a gymnasium, a sauna, and multiple treatment rooms. The hotel, which opened in September, introduces a fresh concept to the local hospitality scene and is the second tallest residential tower in the Balkans region.
 
Underlining its strong focus on expansion in Africa, Rotana will also be opening its first hotel in the east of the continent this month.
 
Conveniently located in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Johari Rotana is situated in close proximity to the Zanzibar Ferry and just 30 minutes from Julius Nyerere International Airport.
 
Commenting on the significance of the event, Hutchinson said: "We are delighted to be here in London and participate in the World Travel Market, one of the most important gatherings in the annual industry calendar."
 
"This year, we are proud to showcase our recent expansions into two new geographies that further strengthen our global presence in Eastern Europe and East Africa," he stated.
 
Rotana is also showcasing 12 of its upcoming hotel properties covering Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, and Iraq. Once these projects get completed by 2020-end, it will take the hospitality group's total number of operational properties to 80.
 
"These important milestones marked fresh chapters in our ongoing success story. As we look to the future with confidence, we will continue to build on the solid foundations we have created and explore new opportunities to enhance the guest experience," added Hutchinson.-TradeArabia News Service
