(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Al Maktoum International Airport is expected to have capacity to handle 120 million passengers annually in five to eight years. According to standard calculation metrics this would create a demand for about 20000 rooms.
Dubai: Dubai World Central or DWC has announced the signing of separate agreements that will see the development of three international hotels -- Aloft Studio M and Millennium -- at DWC.
The deals were signed with Radar DWC (Aloft) Tetra Hospitality Investment (Studio M) and ABA Hospitality DWC (Millennium). The hotels are scheduled for completion between 2018 and 2019 and will collectively add 1300 rooms to DWC’s hospitality offering.
Mohammed Al Awadhi vice-president for real estate at DWC said: “We anticipate considerable demand for hotel accommodation not only from passenger flows at the Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo 2020 but also from the business travellers associated with the wider DWC community. We are also looking at a diverse offering focusing on the mid-range segment. More specifically over 50 per cent of the hotel accommodation around the airport at DWC will be in the three-star segment.”
