Coral Hotels & Resorts has signed a management
agreement with Sudanese Kuwaiti Hotels Co. Ltd. for two
properties in Sudan.
Both hotels are already operational and
occupy prime locations in Sudan’s capital Khartoum and the
strategic town of Port Sudan. Coral Khartoum features 285 rooms
and offers its guest all 5-star facilities including fabulous
dining outlets and leisure options. Equally well-equipped to meet
the needs of global travellers is Coral Port Sudan boasting 114
rooms.
Michel Noblet, CEO, HMH – Hospitality Management
Holdings, said, “Sudan holds great promise for
our industry. The number of tourists arriving in Sudan increased
from 52,000 in 2002 to 70,100 in 2007 and the figure is on the
rise. This has naturally boosted the demand for high quality hotel
accommodations across the country. Both Coral Khartoum and Coral
Port Sudan are superbly located and bear all the characteristics
that make our brand so attractive to travellers.”
Sudan has vast resources and is among the
world’s fastest growing oil producers – producing about 360,000
b/d. An oil-fuelled construction boom is giving its key cities an
ever shinier veneer. This has resulted in increasing business
opportunities and a significant growth in international and
regional visitors.
In
order to improve its infrastructure, Sudan is engaged in many
projects aimed at renovating existing airports and developing new
airports. This includes the redevelopment of Khartoum Airport,
rehabilitating Malakal Airport, developing Abu Gibieha Airport in
Kordofan State, and redeveloping Port Sudan Airport and Juba
Airport. The government aims to make Juba Airport a major domestic
and international airport. These plans go hand in hand with the
country’s efforts to develop tourism. The international airport at
Khartoum is currently served by 16 airlines.
