Al-Sulaymanya accomplishes the biggest tourist project in Iraq
Farouq Al Mulla Abdullah, chairman of 'Asia Al Kurdia' company, based in Al Selaimania (350 km northeast of Baghdad) has launched its tourist project under the name of 'City of Beauty', which is considered as the biggest tourist project in the province.
The project consists of a hotel of 28 floors (5 stars) and modern tourist facilities, constructed on a hill in the middle of Al Selaimania city, at the cost of 60 million dollars.
Mustafa Tajir, chairman of the first telecommunication company in Iraq (Asiacell) said, "The lack of investment projects in Iraqi Kurdistan necessitates our hard work to attract foreign investments to the region, through setting investment plans that suit the needs of the region." He confirmed, "The government of the region encourages such investments and offers all legal facilities, for the purpose of attracting foreign investments to the region. As for us (Asiacell), we rely on foreign expertise in establishing our investment projects in the region. As for the finance of these projects, it is self-finance."
As regards the reasons for the delay of the local companies in tourist investment, especially as Kurdistan is considered as the most Iraqi region in its readiness for tourist investment, he said, "There are no investing companies, in the accurate sense of the word, What we have now consists of contractors and small companies that united with companies under the umbrella of investment."
The hotel which is intended to be established in Azmar Mountain is [Telefric (cable car)]. It is the first time that the cable car service is allowed in Iraqi tourist sites. "The tourist project has a special significance as it is connected with a comprehensive tourist plan in the region, which is concerned about the execution of several projects all over the province."
