Elie Younes, Executive Vice President & Chief Development Officer, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “We’re pleased to increase our brand presence across the Sultanate of Oman, in the capital, Muscat, and in Salalah, the country’s second largest city. Historically, Oman has held an important strategic location between Asia and Africa for trading and, with the Sultanate’s diversification strategy today, we see a changing economic landscape – one that will see the total contribution of travel and tourism forecast become 8.9% of total GDP in 2028. We’re proud to see our growth aligned to this positive outlook and delighted to introduce our upscale Radisson brand that delivers Scandinavian-inspired hospitality, as well as reinforcing the presence of our upper midscale Park Inn by Radisson brand.”
