The hospitality industry in Makkah is on a positive mode.
After a three-year lull, the hotel industry in the holy city is expected to pick up starting next year, according to general manager of Movenpick Hotel and Residences Hajar Tower Makkah, as reported by Saudi Gazette.
“The hospitality and hotel sector in Makkah is expected to flourish especially after completion of the Grand Mosque’s expansion projects and opening of the Umrah season throughout the year,” said Adil Erfan.
Hotels in the central area around the Holy Haram are expected to take the largest chunk because of their strategic location. Erfan said their hotel is particularly determined to find work opportunities for Saudi youth.
“We are intent on providing Saudi youth with all support they need to attain international professionalism,” he added. Erfan noted that the Movenpick with 10 hotels now in various parts of the country has a combined capacity of 3,894 rooms.
