Action Hotels Committed to Tourism Development in Kuwait Region
Sheikh Mubarak Al Sabah reinforces importance of regional growth through partnerships with Accor Hotels
Chairman of Action Hotels, Sheikh Mubarak AM Al Sabah hosted a round of meetings at Kuwait’s White Palace recently with the Chairman and CEO of Accor International, Sebastien Bazin.
The discussions focussed on the further growth of tourism and hospitality in Kuwait and the region, and included Accor’s Chief Executive Officer, Gaurav Bhushan, as well as other team members.
Several ideas were discussed regarding the activation and development of tourism in Kuwait, and the enhancement of opportunities for cooperation with France and other countries in which the Accor manages hotels.
The spotlight was placed on the underserved demand for economy and midscale hotels. The Action-Accor relationship is able to design, develop and operate high quality, affordable, branded accommodation catering to the discerning, budget-savvy business and leisure traveller.
Indeed, Action Hotels plc is already the leading owner, developer and asset manager of branded three- and four-star hotels in prime locations in the Middle East and Australia.
The Company’s portfolio currently consists of 14 operating hotels, of which 10 are in the Middle East and four in Australia. This includes 11 hotels managed by Accor across three flags, ibis, Mercure and Novotel. Meanwhile, the Mercure Riyadh Olaya and the Novotel Dubai Creek are set to open in 2019.
