    Economy News-Baghdad
    On Monday, the director of the Iraqi Economic and Political Center, Wissam Hammal Al-Helou, revealed the operating ratios for the year 2022 for the five-star hotels in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, while stressing that the absence of support for the Iraqi tourism sector and the non-specialists receiving the sites concerned with this file was a major reason for the catastrophic decline experienced by this sector.
    Al-Helou said in a statement to the center that "the tourism situation in general and the hotel sector in particular is witnessing a low occupancy rate, despite the relative improvement from last year, and the operational rates in some hotels do not match the wages and salaries of their employees."
    Al-Helou added, "The successive governments' neglect of the tourism sector, the absence of actual plans to increase the proportion of tourists in Iraq, and the imposition of almost impossible conditions that prevent nationals of many countries from obtaining Iraqi visas have caused a shortage of hard currency and a decline in hotel occupancy in general and five-star hotels in particular."
    He continued, "Likewise, the small number of five-star hotels in Iraq and Baghdad and the failure to build new ones since the eighties of the last century reduced the options for those wishing to occupy and made many foreigners reside in Iraq for a few days only, especially those who come to the country's remote provinces due to the lack of suitable hotels in those provinces, which necessitates The need to build qualified hotels.
    And between the sweet, "we were counting on the new government and the House of Representatives to return the Tourism and Antiquities Authority to an independent sovereign ministry and to choose a competent and competent minister who manages its balance, puts points on the letters and contributes with specialized cadres in writing real strategies to advance the reality of tourism and hotels in Iraq, which owns many archaeological sites, holy shrines and regions It has a picturesque nature that can develop the infrastructure, rehabilitate some of it, and promote it in a civilized, non-consumed way that restores the spirit of tourism in Iraq, but unfortunately quotas still pervade this sector, as people who are not concerned with this file are sought and handed over to the top positions.
    Al-Hilu indicated, according to the statement, that "hotel managements complained in interviews with the Iraqi Economic and Political Center about the lack of government support and the imposition of high taxes, as well as very high prices for electricity, fuel, water, and other fees, which made operational costs very high and exhausted their budgets."
    He pointed out that "the center's management conducted a questionnaire through a number of interviews with managers of five-star hotels in the capital, Baghdad. Occupancy rates in hotels for the year 2022 were as follows:
    1.. Babylon Hotel (Rotana)
    Occupancy rate (38%) out of a total of 300 rooms
    2. Baghdad International Hotel
    The occupancy rate is (30%) of the total (170) rooms.
    3. Mansour Hotel
    The occupancy rate is (25%) of the total (262) rooms
    4. Palestine Hotel
    The occupancy rate is (9%) of the total (348) rooms
    5. Ishtar Sheraton Hotel
    The occupancy rate is (6%) out of a total of (207) rooms.
    He drew the director of the center
     He added that "we were not able to interview the management of Al-Rasheed Hotel due to the privacy of the hotel in terms of security and its presence within the Green Zone, which prevented us from obtaining an official permit from its management regarding the occupancy rate."
    Al-Hilu called on "government and parliamentary authorities to develop plans and legislate laws that promote tourism investment in Iraq, activate the Iraqi private sector, and open workshops and channels of cooperation with specialized Arab and international institutions to benefit from their experiences and expertise in support of the tourism sector, and put greater facilities in obtaining Iraqi visas for Arab and foreign tourists, which enhances revenues." .
    He believed that "there is no way to activate the hotel and tourism sector except by opening up to the private sector and supporting Iraqi investors, especially after they contributed to the establishment of a number of three- and four-star hotels in central Baghdad, such as Belitum, Bloom, Norland, Anwar Dijla, Italian House and Al-Shaheen, which are considered successful experiences that encourage support for this sector to serve the movement." investment and tourism, and to enhance the country's imports.
