Hilton to grow Middle East portfolio by 140%

Hilton has announced that it will significantly increase its presence in the Middle East region over the next five years."With almost 100 properties and more than 24,000 rooms in the pipeline, we expect a 140% increase in the number of hotels we operate over the next three to five years."

In addition to its growing pipeline, Hilton announced a commitment to source 350 tonnes of local produce in the UAE in partnership with agritech platform Fresh On Table, back in February. To meet this goal, 22 Hilton hotels across the country committed to procure a minimum of 19 ingredients exclusively from UAE farms. As part of its overriding Travel with Purpose strategy, Hilton is also committed to cutting food waste in half by 2030."I am delighted to share these important milestones in our sustainability journey. For more than a century, Hilton has been driven by the belief that hospitality can be a force for good and I am incredibly proud of the team's passion and commitment to our Travel with Purpose agenda. By committing publicly to these goals, we hope to inspire others into creating meaningful social impact across the food and beverage industry."
