Iran Daily - Panorama - 04/05/06: "46th Hotel Opens in Kish
The 46th hotel of Kish Island, Parmis, went on stream at a total cost of 180 billion rials.
Managing director of Tourism Promotion Institute, Ali Ghamkhar, said at the inauguration ceremony of the 9-story hotel that hotel industry is one of the basic pillars of tourism programs in Kish Free Zone, ILNA reported.
He reiterated that apart from accommodation facilities, tourism infrastructure including sightseeing and recreational attractions, transportation and services sectors should expand in the Persian Gulf’s most popular island.
Ghamkhar said tourism promotion cannot be achieved unless by employing a scientific, broad-based and logical strategy.
“Hotel industry in Kish has experienced a remarkable growth in terms of quantity. However, the quality of services has not grown in tandem which means more efforts need to be made to provide premium quality services,“ he noted, adding private resources should be exploited to turn the island to a major tourism hub.
According to Masoud Arbab, one of the hotel’s managers, the facility has a built-up area of 16,000 sq.m.
Constructed through private entrepreneurship, Parmis Hotel has 170 rooms, close to 500 beds, seven restaurants and coffee shops, Internet cafŽ, gyms, sauna and swimming pool, handicrafts store, beauty parlor and laundry.
Kish Island, stretched across 93 square kilometers, receives more than one million Iranian and foreign tourists a year."
