Iraq has opened a major hotel project in Baghdad ahead of the 2025 Arab Tourism Summit. Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani inaugurated the Al-Zaytoon Baghdad / Mövenpick Hotel during a special event on Saturday. This marks a significant step to boost Baghdad tourism and prepare for regional visitors.
Firstly, the Mövenpick Hotel now operates some of its main facilities. This partial opening supports preparations for the upcoming Arab Summit, which will bring leaders and guests from across the region. Iraq aims to impress visitors and enhance its image as a top tourist destination.
Additionally, Prime Minister Al-Sudani called the project one of Baghdad’s largest private tourism investments. He also confirmed that the government will keep supporting such private sector efforts. These projects help boost Baghdad tourism, grow the economy, and offer more job opportunities.
During his visit, Al-Sudani toured the hotel and praised Boost Baghdad Tourism construction quality. He noted the project met its deadlines despite challenges. The government remains fully committed to expanding Iraq’s tourism infrastructure.
Baghdad continues to develop quickly in several sectors, especially tourism. The Prime Minister pointed out that the city now welcomes more regional and international events than ever. As the Capital of Arab Tourism for 2025, Baghdad plans to host more conferences and large gatherings.
Iraq sees tourism as a key pillar of its future economy. Therefore, leaders are working to attract investment and improve hospitality services. Projects like Mövenpick play a key role as they directly boost Baghdad tourism by attracting high-end travelers.
The new hotel also reflects Iraq’s goal of modernizing its capital. With rising demand for hotels and resorts, Baghdad needs more facilities that can host business leaders, diplomats, and tourists alike.
Notably, Swiss-based Mövenpick, fully owned by France’s Accor Group, manages the hotel. Its presence signals global confidence in Iraq’s tourism market. This collaboration strengthens Iraq’s position in the international hospitality industry.
In conclusion, with continued investment and support, Iraq expects to fully boost Baghdad tourism and become a regional tourism leader.
