Global hotel group to launch two new hotels in Oman

Muscat, Nov 19 - Radisson Hospitality AB, part of the Radisson Hotel Group, has announced two new hotel signings in Oman: Radisson Hotel Apartments, Muscat Hills and Park Inn by Radisson Hotel Apartments, Salalah. This brings the group’s portfolio to 84 hotels and more than 20,000 rooms in operation and under development across the Middle East region.

Elie Younes, Executive Vice-President & Chief Development Officer, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “We’re pleased to increase our brand presence across the Sultanate of Oman, in the capital, Muscat, and in Salalah, the country’s second largest city. Historically, Oman has held an important strategic location between Asia and Africa for trading and, with the Sultanate’s diversification strategy today, we see a changing economic landscape — one that will see the total contribution of travel and tourism forecast become 8.9 per cent of total GDP in 2028. We’re proud to see our growth aligned to this positive outlook and delighted to introduce our upscale Radisson brand that delivers Scandinavian-inspired hospitality, as well as reinforcing the presence of our upper midscale Park Inn by Radisson brand.”
