Previously general manager of the 252-room Hurghada Inter-Continental Resort and Casino, Takla brings with him nineteen years of experience in the hospitality industry, including two hotel openings.
With dual Egyptian/Greek nationality and a thorough understanding of the Red Sea region, Takla is well positioned to head the operations of the 450-room Hotel Sharm El Sheikh Inter-Continental Resort.
Six Continents Hotels will open another property in Egypt later this year - the 452-room Inter-Continental Resort Soma Bay, while the 792-room Hotel Inter-Continental Heliopolis opens in Cairo early in 2003. A second new Cairo hotel, the Holiday Inn Heliopolis, opens in the summer of 2003. Like the new Inter-Continental hotel in the capital, it is an integral part of Citystars Heliopolis Cairo, the landmark development also comprising major shopping, entertainment, residential and office facilities.
