CAIRO, October 10, 2010 - Egypt is currently witnessing an unparalleled boom in tourism
which is propelling this historic nation to the forefront of the developing
tourism industry. Recent statistics on Euromonitor International indicate
that, in the past four years, tourism revenue has increased by 40%. In order
to further increase national income from tourism, the country has directed
part of the foreign investment capital to construct new hotels to accommodate
the growing number of tourists. This trend is the driving force for IQPC's
Hotel Design and Construction Egypt which will take place from 12 - 15
December 2010
.

When asked to describe the current market situation, Simon F.
Cooper
, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Ritz - Carlton Hotel
Company, commented that, "with the growth in tourism, the increasing strength
of the Egyptian economy, the sustained development of the infrastructure
required, and the investment support from within the Egyptian tourism and
hospitality sector, we see expansion within Egypt to be an important future
strategy."

It appears not only leading hotel operators are looking to
branch into this emerging market. Cooper's sentiments were echoed by HGBD
Arabia's Waleed Mohammed Abdel Saleem. In a recent survey, the Design Divison
Manager gave his opinion on the Egyptian tourism market saying, "Egypt is a
healthy and profitable market, there are lots of areas that need resorts and
hotels."

Experts have indicated that there needs to be a level of
sophistication in designing and constructing hotels to fit the demands of the
increasing tourism boom.

With an evolving industry, it is vital for industry leaders to
stay up to date and transport the emerging tourism market in this region to a
well established and competent market. As was outlined, this region holds a
great potential for future construction projects in the tourism industry and
there is no doubt that the demand is there. In order for hotel owners to
learn more about the direction of the market, it is paramount to network with
and understand the unique challenges in the design and construction industry
for Egyptian hotels.

Hotel Design and Construction Egypt will provide case studies
on landmark designs, consider the challenges in guaranteeing sustainability
and maintainability of hotel projects and will present industry insider
techniques on ensuring the legacy of developments through cultural and
demand-driven relevance. Held in Cairo, Egypt from the 12 to 15 December
2010
, the launch in IQPC's hotel design events will bring together
international key speakers to share best-practice methods of ensuring
responsible tourism during the design stage, adhering to green building
regulations and harmonising stakeholder's expectations in order to achieve
brand characteristics from design through to construction.
