The Ireland based hospitality-focused business entity, Grand Midwest Group; today announced expanding its footprints in Dubai by launching its third property in the emirate, a brand new five-star deluxe property within Media City, reinforcing the growth potential of the regional hospitality and tourism sector despite the current economic climate.

Commenting on the launch of the new 46-storied upscale, full-service hotel apartment property, Grand Midwest Tower, promoters of the property said that their expansion plans were on track and more projects were in the pipeline in Dubai.

“The hospitality sector in Dubai and the region may not be immune to the current global economic slowdown, but we do see a strong potential for growth in the medium to long-term. The opening of Grand Midwest Tower signifies our confidence in Dubai and the hospitality and tourism sector of the region which has a wealth of unlocked potential, particularly since Dubai is centrally located in the vicinity of emerging markets with strong potential for business growth,” said Mr.. Muhmmad Zafar Shah Khan, Group Chairman, Grand Midwest Group.

Grand Midwest is ideally located within the new commercial and residential district of Dubai flanking Sheikh Zayed Road next to Internet City and Knowledge village.

Grand Midwest Tower also offers an extensive choice of conference and meeting facilities, two restaurants, a coffee shop, business centre, five board rooms, and two spacious banqueting halls and other state-of-the-art facilities and amenities.

“Our primary focus for Grand Midwest Towers will be business travelers, Dubai being the region’s most business-friendly location housing a significant number of global corporations. Being a hub of the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) sector, Dubai attracts a significant number of global business travelers and we are confident that Grand Midwest will be an attractive choice for them,” Mr. Zafar said.

Commenting on the vision of Grand Midwest Group, he added, “It is our vision to emerge as a world-class provider of international hospitality services, offering a consistent level of comfort to both corporate and leisure travelers.”
