HMH – Hospitality Management Holding - announced at the Arabian Travel Market that it will open a new hotel with the completion of EWA Port Sudan Hotel & Apartments by Q4 2017.
It is the group’s fourth hotel in Sudan where it has been operating since 2009 as the operator continues to support the development of tourism infrastructure in the country.
HMH COO Ferghal Purcell said, “With three hotels in operation we are strongly positioned in Sudan and well-placed to contribute to the growth of the local hospitality and tourism industry.
“Scheduled to open in October 2017, EWA Port Sudan Hotel & Apartments is owned by Social Security Investment Authority. It is located 30-minute from the Port Sudan New International Airport in Port Area,” he added.
The new hotel will feature 84 keys - and will include meeting, dining and leisure facilities.
HMH claims there is a considerable shortage of hotels in Sudan, particularly outside the capital Khartoum, with many key tourist attractions completely lacking suitable accommodation.
HMH’s current portfolio includes the Coral Khartoum Hotel, Coral Port Sudan and EWA Khartoum Hotel & Apartments.
Earlier this year, United States lifted trade sanctions against Sudan that were in place for nearly two decades.
The government of Sudan has also pledged significant funds to boost the country’s tourism industry.
