The company also plans to launch the Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi Hotel, as part of the expansion plan, while a management contract has been signed for another hotel in Damietta, and the Saudi Egyptian Construction Company (SECON) signed a contract with Hilton to manage a four-star hotel in new Damietta.
“We believe in the institutions of the Egyptian market and seek to increase the number of our hotels, especially as growth opportunities in the tourism sector are very large. I expect the hotels carrying the Hilton brand to triple the current number within 10 years,” said Muhr.
Hilton Hotels & Resorts vice president of Egypt and Levant Operations Christian Muhr has said Hilton manages 18 hotels in Egypt, and is considered the largest hotel management company in Egypt.
