Movenpick Hotels & Resorts' expansion emphasises confidence in Egyptian tourism

With the addition of three new resorts on the Red Sea and five new Nile cruisers, the international upscale hotel company of Swiss heritage is evolving as one of the major upscale hospitality providers in the region. King Farouk’s former private yacht from 1918 now cruising under the Mövenpick flag.

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has underlined its commitment to Egypt’s tourism industry by adding Mövenpick Resort Hurghada, Mövenpick Resort Abu Soma and Mövenpick Resort Sharm El Sheikh in Naama Bay to its existing impressive portfolio of four properties on the country’s Red Sea coastline.

In a further confidence boost for this year’s ITB partner country Egypt, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has also strengthened its presence on the Nile with four new cruisers and one sail boat, including the spectacular ‘Misr’, once the private yacht of Egypt’s former King Farouk.

Roger Kacou, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts’ Senior Vice President Africa, said: “We have a long and successful history in Egypt since 1975 and today managing 18 hotels, resorts and Nile boats. This announcement signifies an important step in our dynamic expansion programme that demonstrates our commitment to and total confidence in Egypt’s tourism.”
