Shaza Hotels Turizm Yatırım Forumu’nda Türkiye’deki Gelişme Planlarını Açıkladı

İstanbul: Shaza Hotels, geçtiğimiz hafta TTYD (Türkiye Turizm Yatırımcıları Derneği) tarafından düzenlenen 2020 Turizm Yatırım Forumu’nda (TIF 2020) Türkiye pazarındaki gelişme planlarını açıkladı.  Özgün forum, ülke turizminin geleceğini şekillendirmek için çeşitli fırsatlar üzerinde görüşmeler yapmak üzere önde gelen yerel ve uluslararası yatırımcıları, otel işletme firmalarını, finansal kuruluşları, bankaları ve gayrimenkul geliştiricilerini bir araya getirdi.

Shaza Hotels Başkan Yardımcısı Chris Nader forumda, “Shaza İpek Yolu kültürlerinden ilham almış olan bir otel grubudur ve Türkiye, hikayemiz ve gelişme planlarımız çerçevesinde stratejik bir pazardır” açıklamasında bulundu.  Nader açıklamasını şöyle sürdürdü; “Son birkaç yıl içinde markamızı Ortadoğu pazarında ciddi şekilde yaygınlaştırdık ve şimdi Türkiye ve çevre ülke pazarlarında aktif bir şekilde fırsatları değerlendirmek üzere İstanbul’da bir ofis kurduk.  Eyüp Babür İstanbul ofisimizde Türkiye ve BDT Ülkeleri Direktörü olarak görev yapacak.  Ülkenin yeni ve güncel markaları memnuniyetle karşılamaya hazır olduğunu ve bizim kendine özgü özel markamızın konsept ve yatırım kriterleri açılarından ülkeye gelen ziyaretçilere ve yatırımcılara birebir uyduğunu görüyoruz.” 

Global Hotel Alliance’ın bir üyesi olan beş yıldızlı lüks Shaza Hotels, dört yıldızlı markası Mysk by Shaza ile beraber, otellerinde alkol servis etmeyen uluslararası düzeydeki tek otel markasıdır.

Nader, “Bu güne kadar yatırımcılar ve işletmeciler özellikle İstanbul ve Bodrum pazarlarına odaklandılar.  Biz de çok yüksek performans gösteren bu iki şehirde otellerimiz olsun isteriz, fakat biz aynı zamanda Türkiye’nin diğer şehirlerinde de çok ciddi bir potansiyel görüyoruz.  Büyük şehirler dışında da Türkiye ikincil ve uzak şehirlerinde kültür, miras ve doğa olarak çok büyük bir zenginliğe sahip ve ülke, bu bölgeleri de kaliteli oteller, resortlar ve dinlence otelleri geliştirip yeni kuşak ziyaretçileri cezbederek geliştirmeli.  Bizim de hedefimiz bu.” dedi.                                                   

Shaza Hotels, Türkiye’de wellness resortlar, doğa ve termal dinlence otelleri ve kültürel miras bölgelerinde bulunan tarihi binaları da içeren bazı projeler için görüşmeler halindedir.

Türkiye Turizm Yatırımcıları Derneği ülke bazında turizm potansiyelinde sağlam, sürdürülebilir, yaratıcı ve yüksek kaliteli gelişimin artarak devamı için çalışmalarını arttırmaktadır.  Hükümet, 2023’te 75 milyondan fazla ziyaretçi ve 65 milyar dolar turizm geliri hedefi ile 11nci Kalkınma Planı’nda turizmi stratejik sektörlerden biri olarak belirlemiş ve özellikle ülkede ana şehirler ve bölgeler dışında kalan bölgelerde yapılacak turizm yatırımları için çok cazip teşvikler ortaya koymuştur. 

Shaza Hotels Hakkında

Shaza Hotels özgün bünyesinde iki marka barındıran uluslararası bir otel işletme firmasıdır:  Shaza 5 yıldızlı lüks segmente ve Mysk ise 4 yıldızlı segmente hitap etemektedir.  Markalar, Türkiye’nin de içinde bulunduğu İpek Yolu kültürlerinden ilham almış ve bu coğrafyanın geleneklerini ve değerlerini çağdaş ve modern ortam, imkan ve hizmetlerle harmanlayarak seçkin misafirlerine sunmaktadır.  Shaza aynı zamanda Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) üyesidir.

DISCOVERY Misafir Sadakat Programı Hakkında

KIKLABB: Intelligent Workspaces Announces Opening of its First Facility at Queen Elizabeth 2

KIKLABB: Licensing & Workspaces has announced the opening of its flagship business at the iconic Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2). It was officially inaugurated by Mr. Hamza Mustafa, CEO of PCFC Investments; Mr. Abdulla Belhoul, CEO of PCFC-Trakhees and Mr. Tasawar Ulhaq, CEO of KIKLABB.

Spread over an area of 25,000 square feet, with imminent plans of expansion, KIKLABB offers an excellent choice of private offices, co-working spaces and flexi desks. Heritage, innovation, convenience, culture and community have been seamlessly integrated to provide businesses the opportunity to connect and grow.

Tasawar Ulhaq, CEO, KIKLABB, said, “The legendary QE2 makes for an extraordinary location for our flagship facility in Dubai. The way we work is evolving and so are the needs of the market. With the ability to issue trade licenses and offer intelligent workspaces, KIKLABB is designed to transform the working experience. Our outstanding facilities driven by technology, offer an array of financial and strategic benefits, increasing efficiency and productivity. The first step of setting up a business is getting a trade license and as a government-owned entity, at KIKLABB we issue both Dubai Free Zone and on-shore DED licenses.”

Tasawar added, “Our ultimate goal is to create a licensing solution and an environment that promotes collaboration and creativity through a well-balanced ecosystem. KIKLABB is a centre of gravity, filled with potential for international companies, SMEs, start-ups, investors, and entrepreneurs.”

With the flexible working trend gaining momentum, demand for flexible workspaces is on the rise in Dubai. According to Colliers’ data, Dubai currently has over 650,000 square feet of flexible and co-working space spread over 53 locations. The supply of co-working centres in the city, from both new market entrants and existing operators, will continue to increase with minimum 320,000 to 530,000 sq ft of space expected to be dedicated toward this sector by the end of 2020. Projections for the region forecast that flexible workspaces will constitute more than 60 per cent of the total office demand in GCC by 2025.

Passionate about the topic of shared economies, Tasawar adds “KIKLABB enables clients to plug and play with either a Dubai Free Zone or Dubai on-shore license – they come in to get a license and workspace, and leave with so much more.  Seamless, hassle-free license and visa processing along with access to premium banking and insurance solutions allows business owners to concentrate on what matters, growing their business. We want clients to hit the ground running, so we give them access to our space from Day 1, while their license is processing – for free.”

Shaza Hotels Announces Expansion Plan in Turkey at the Tourism Investment Forum

Istanbul: Shaza Hotels announced its expansion plan for the Turkish market at the Tourism Investment Forum 2020 (TIF) organised by the Turkish Tourism Investors Association TTYD in Istanbul last week. The exclusive conference brought together leading international investors, financial institutions, banks and real estate developers to discuss opportunities to shape the future of tourism in the country.

Chris Nader, Vice President, Shaza Hotels, said, “Shaza represents the cultures of the Silk Route, and Turkey is a strategic market for our story and expansion plans. We spent the last few years growing our brands in the Middle East and have now established an office in Istanbul to actively pursue opportunities in Turkey and surrounding markets. The country is ready to welcome new and fresh brands, and our unique brand proposition fits perfectly the needs of investors and travellers, both from a concept standpoint and investment criteria standpoint.”

As members of the Global Hotel Alliance, luxury brand Shaza and its upscale brand Mysk by Shaza are the only international hotel brands that manage exclusively alcohol-free hotels.

Nader stressed, “Historically, investors and operators have focussed primarily on two markets: Istanbul and Bodrum. We would of course like to manage properties in these two highly performing cities; however, we also see immense potential in secondary cities and remote destinations. Turkey has so much richness in terms of culture, heritage and nature outside the main cities, and the country needs to promote these locations by developing quality hotels, resorts and retreats to attract the new generation of travellers. This is what we want to achieve.”

Shaza Hotels is currently in discussion for various projects in Turkey, including wellness resorts, nature and thermal retreats, and historical palaces connected to heritage and cultural sites.

The Turkish Tourism Investors Association strives to achieve robust, resilient, sustainable, innovative and high-quality nation-wide growth in tourism. The government’s 11th development plan has identified tourism as one of the strategic industries, which is to receive special incentives and support, especially outside primary cities. It was recently announced that Turkey has the potential to attract more than 75 million foreign tourists and generate $65 billion in tourism revenues by 2023.

About Shaza Hotels
Shaza Hotels is an international hotel management company comprising of two unique brands: Shaza in the luxury segment, and Mysk in the upscale segment. The brands are characterised by their dedication to offering true Arabian hospitality inspired by the traditions and culture of the Silk Route and reflected by a contemporary Middle Eastern style décor and serene ambiance that is appreciated by the most discerning travellers. Shaza is a member of the Global Hotel Alliance (GHA).

LEVA Hotels & Resorts Enters into an Agreement with Golden Group Holding to Manage Two Properties in Oman

LEVA Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement with the Golden Group Holding to manage two superb hotels in Muscat. It marks the debut of LEVA Hotels & Resorts in Oman. While the 85-room Safeer Continental Hotel will be reflagged as a 4-star LEVA Hotel, the 61-keys Safeer Plaza Suites will be operated under LEVA’s 3-star EKONO brand.

Making the announcement, Sheikh Salim bin Ahmed Al Ghazali, Chairman, Golden Group Holding, stated, “We are delighted to welcome the LEVA and EKONO brands to Oman and believe these are the perfect fit for our properties. It will allow us to diversify our brand portfolio while offering a new experience to guests.”

Mr. JS Anand, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of LEVA Hotels & Resorts, said, “We are proud to collaborate with the prestigious Golden Group Holding and thrilled to launch both LEVA and EKONO brands in Oman with two fantastic hotels. Being a young hospitality group, it is a momentous milestone for us and will bolster our expansion across the GCC. We are confident the signing of this strategic agreement will open unprecedented opportunities for us as we see enormous potential for growth in the country in the upscale and mid-market sector.”

Both the properties will offer business and leisure travellers a unique hospitality experience with a great value. Mr. Anand revealed, “Though the hotels are still in great condition, prior to rebranding, the rooms and facilities will be fully refurbished to maximise the appeal. Our plan is to create inspired and thoughtful spaces in keeping with the LEVA spirit to connect with modern travellers.”

The two hotels enjoy outstanding location within walking distance to each other in the Madinat Al Sultan Qaboos district merely 15 minutes away from Muscat International Airport, 10-minute drive from Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Royal Opera House Muscat. The famous Qurum Beach and Muttrah Corniche are also in close vicinity to the properties.

Oman has distinguished itself as a unique tourism destination with a wide range of responsible, eco, cultural and heritage attractions on offer. Tourism arrivals to the country are expected to increase at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5 percent until 2023 to reach 3.5 million. This growth is supported by the recently opened Muscat International Airport expansion as well as strategic investment from the government as it turns to tourism to diversify its income streams. Hotel supply in Muscat is dominated by the upper-midscale segment of the market, with 4-star properties currently accounting for 32%, 5-star properties accounting for 24% and 3-star properties accounting for just 14%.
