National Hotels Company (NHC), the owner of the Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa and Diplomatic Commercial Tower, said that despite the continuation of the crisis during the whole year and its negative cascading effects politically, economically and socially, the year 2012 had generally been a better one in terms of operations, particularly the last quarter wherein the various economic sectors witnessed a revival, though conservative.
“This has led to some improvement of the tourism sectors and indeed the Hotels’ performance. The return of the positive feeling, the Formula One Race and big exhibitions are some of the indications of this revival,” the shareholders of NHC told by the board.
The shareholders approved the financial statement for the year 2012 and all items on the agenda were also approved unanimously.
The Diplomat Commercial Office Tower project has successfully been completed, commissioned and handed over at the end of February 2012. The first tenancy contract was signed in the second half of the year.
The full Annual Report 2012 for the National Hotels Company is available at the NHC office located at the Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel, Residence & Spa in the Diplomatic Area.
In addition it was reported that all relevant Corporate Governance principles have been completed.
