Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, conducted on Saturday a field visit to the Rixos and Movenpick hotel projects carried out in the center of the capital, Baghdad.
Al-Sudani heard a thorough presentation on the work being done on both projects and checked the completion phases, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
The Iraqi Prime Minister affirmed that the growing number of tourists and official delegations visiting the city of Baghdad necessitates the construction of huge hotels.
Due to the numerous Arab, regional, and international conferences held in Baghdad throughout the year, the city’s hotel occupancy rate now stands at 100 percent.
Al-Sudani also stated that, as Iraq is set to host significant conferences and events, additional work needs to be done on these two hotels as well as the other huge hotels that are presently under construction in Baghdad.
These two projects are only two of several hotel projects underway in Baghdad. The government has supported these developments by pushing economic reforms and fostering an atmosphere that is friendly to foreign investment, which will enable the projects to be completed on schedule.
