Arab Finance: The Arab Company for Tourism and Hotels Investments (ICON), a subsidiary of Talaat Moustafa Group Holding (TMG), has wrapped up a deal for the acquisition and full management rights of a 51% stake in Legacy Hotels, as per a disclosure on February 11th.
The takeover deal is set to double ICON's consolidated hotel revenues in US dollars to over $250 million in 2024.
The increase in revenues is expected to carry on over the next few years.
Legacy Hotels is a joint venture between TSFE’s Tourism, Real Estate, and Antiquities Sub-fund and EGOTH, and it has a unique portfolio of seven hotels.
