Saudi Arabia is Hilton’s key target for the Middle East expansion, Vice President of Development Carlos Khneisser confirmed ahead of the Saudi Hotel Investment Conference. Hilton plans to build 35 hotels offering more than 10,000 rooms over the next three to five years, adding to the 11 it has established since first entering the kingdom in 1992. Hilton’s expansion is in response to the growth of Saudi Arabia's strong religious tourism market, as well as increasing demand for accommodation suitable for business and leisure travellers, Khneisser said.
