Ricky Phillips, Regional President of Premium, Midscale and Economy Brands for the Middle East, Africa and Türkiye at Accor, said: "Egypt continues to consolidate its position as one of the region's leading growth markets, while the Red Sea stands out as a destination with promising long-term potential. El Quseir is gaining increasing prominence thanks to its unique blend of natural beauty and authentic historic character, making it a perfect fit for Swissôtel's contemporary vision of wellness and hospitality. The opening of this resort reflects our commitment to strengthening the region's tourism sector by offering experiences that combine international hospitality standards with authentic local heritage, and confirms Accor's continued strategic expansion in Egypt, one of the group's most important growth markets, strengthening our leading position in the region's hospitality sector."
To enhance the guest experience and service levels, the resort will undergo a phased development and renovation program.
