Retaj Hotels & Hospitality has signed a strategic partnership agreement to manage 16 hotels in Saudi Arabia over the next five years.
The agreement was signed between Sheikh Mohammed Ibrahim Al Aboud, chairman of Ibrahim Al Aboud Company and Dr Mohammed Bin Johar Al Mohammad, vice-chairman and managing director of Retaj Group earlier this year.
At the signing ceremony, Dr Johar confirmed that Retaj Group has plans to continue to expand its investment projects inside and outside of Qatar, especially in the hospitality sector. The signing of 16 hotels in Saudi Arabia speaks volumes about the group's commitment to the family tourism sector, commented the vice-chairman and managing director.
The signing of the management agreement with Ibrahim Al Aboud Company comes in the wake of a change in Retaj’s strategy in the last two years, focusing on expansion and diversification in domestic and foreign markets, including Turkey, Comoros, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Djibouti and Bahrain. “We are looking to intensify our investment, having completed feasibility studies of several projects and we seek to expand in the hospitality sector in other countries as well, such as Spain, Bosnia, the UAE, Morocco, Niger and Sudan,” said Dr Johar.
Retaj Group is one of the leading Qatari companies operating in the field of real estate and tourism investment. It manages several commercial and residential complexes. Retaj Hotels & Hospitality is a pioneer in the industry and ensures customer satisfaction with its high-end services and high-quality products.
The brand boasts 14 hotels around the world. Retaj Al Rayyan and Retaj Royal are its hotels in Doha, along with hotel apartments such as Retaj Residence Corniche, Retaj INN Marina and Retaj INN.
