Hospitality Management Holdings announced on Monday that the group will continue to expand its footprint in the GCC. Laurent A. Voivenel, CEO, HMH, said, “By 2020, our aim is to have a hotel in every GCC country while doubling our portfolio in Dubai and we certainly believe it is achievable. Dubai’s successful bid for World Expo 2020 is a massive stimulant for the entire GCC region’s hospitality and meetings industry accelerating economic growth and development.”

HMH currently has 20 hotels in operation in the region and five new properties opening later this year in quick succession.
