Omer Kaddouri, President and CEO, Rotana, said; “The opening of Salalah Rotana Resort is an exciting one for us, as not only does it take us one step closer to reaching our ultimate vision but it has strengthened the company’s standing as the leading hotel management company in the region. We will be working closely with Oman’s Ministry of Tourism on developing the country’s appeal and establishing Salalah as a new and upcoming year-round tourist destination. Salalah Rotana Resort’s opening is in line with the Ministry’s strategy to strengthen Oman’s reputation as a luxury hospitality haven and will set new standards in hospitality which we are renowned for.”
Aman Aditya Sachdev, Senior Vice President- South Asia and South-East Asia, Rotana, added, “We are delighted to announce the opening of the Salalah Rotana Resort. Our first property in Oman enhances our range of luxury offerings as we extend our award winning hospitality into important markets as a part of Rotana’s expansion plan. India remains to be a significant source market for Rotana and is currently the largest inbound market for Oman. We are confident of a positive response from the discerning Indian traveller.”
The opening of the Salalah Rotana Resort increases Rotana’s inventory to 13,458 rooms and suites which comes as a reflection of the group’s commitment to being a leading hospitality management provider.
