Vital Support for Hotel Groups

Those seeking to develop or expand in the Middle East find vast value in the crucial support of a knowledgeable, experienced and well-connected helping hand on the ground - El Zayat.

Among critical strategic and tactical support services are pre-opening budgeting, development of policies and procedures, sales and marketing representation support, organization of public relations and educational events such as workshops and road-shows, and market performance audits.

Hotel Investment and Development

Services tailored according to clients' needs cover concept design, site investigations and master planning, feasibility studies and financial forecasts, Sukuk and asset evaluations, benchmarking, operational audits and sourcing for hotel operators - and then El Zayat goes one step further by offering its own management services for properties and assets.

Drawing on its solid background, profound experience, unquestioned credibility and sheer demand the company has recently been steered towards investing in and managing four-star purpose-built boutique hotels, heritage guest lodges and hotel apartments and high end deluxe compounds.

Hospitality Development Studies and Research

Many in the hospitality industry have commissioned El Zayat to conduct in-depth studies and research to ensure a clear path going forward. On the menu are detailed market surveys, benchmark studies, product assessments, strategic planning and other bespoke services.
