Speaking on the development, OMRAN CEO Peter Walichnowski said that it was in line with OMRAN’s objective to support Oman’s privatisation plans. “We will study the opportunity to offer shares in a new hotel investment company managed by OMRAN to allow local and foreign investors to participate in the growth of the Oman tourism sector. Funds, which are released by selling shares in the hotel company, can be re-invested in new projects in the tourism sector,” he said.
OMRAN currently has a number of hotel properties, offering a capacity of around 1,000-plus keys, in the pipeline for development at key locations around the Sultanate. This is in addition to a portfolio of nine Omran-owned properties operated by international hotel brands and a further nine 2- and 3-star properties operated under the Group’s home-grown brand ‘Atana’.
