Economy & Aftermath

The Jasmine City Hotel, a tourist facility at a cost of 8 billion Syrian pounds, was opened in the Youth Sports City in Mazzeh on March 20th. 

The hotel includes 110 rooms containing 250 beds, in addition to a hall for conferences and weddings that can accommodate about 500 people, and a restaurant that can accommodate 400 people.

In a statement to reporters, a member of the central leadership of the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party, head of the economic bureau, Ammar Sibai, indicated that the project is the fruit of cooperation between the party and the national private sector. 

 

Sebaei pointed out that the tourism sector is inseparable from the economic sector, as it is part of the economic life that contributes to providing job opportunities and supports the state treasury.  

Sebaei said the continuity of cooperation to implement many projects in the future. 

In turn, the Minister of Tourism, Eng. Muhammad Rami Martini, explained that the total cost of the project amounted to 8 billion Syrian pounds, and it is part of tourism investment projects that have returned to work. 

The Minister of Tourism, Eng. Muhammad Rami Martini said that there are 5 hotel projects under construction that will end this year, distributed in the governorates of Damascus and its countryside, Aleppo, Tartous and Latakia.

Minister Martini stressed that the national investor and national companies have the largest share in these projects, which will provide job opportunities for graduates of tourism colleges, schools, and tourism and hotel institutes, as the private sector will be obligated to employ a percentage of graduates from the tourism and hotel education and training sector. 

For his part, the Governor of Damascus, Eng. Adel Al-Olabi, indicated that the governorate continues to cooperate with the Ministry of Tourism in facilitating investors’ affairs and overcoming any difficulties they face. 

The owner of the facility, Wael Nasri, stressed that the opening of such facilities is a message to the inside and outside the country that the Syrian investor adheres to his country despite the siege and unilateral coercive measures on his country. 

Nasri added that it also reflects the civilized and touristic face of Syria and contributes to providing a number of job opportunities for the young generation.

The inauguration was attended by the governor of Damascus countryside, Moataz Abu Al-Nasr Jamran, the secretary of the two branches of the party in Damascus and its countryside, the head of the Youth Union, and a number of concerned directors in the Ministry of Tourism.
