Park Inn by Radisson Al Khobar was recently awarded the 'Best Mid-market Hotel in Saudi Arabia' at the first Saudi Excellence in Tourism Awards.

The Park Inn hotel in Al Khobar fought off tough competition from 16 other nominees in its category to receive the top honour.

The nominees for each category were decided by the public through an online vote before a panel of eight leading national and international experts connected with tourism, hospitality, marketing and commerce, determined the winners based on a range of criteria.

Frank Eikeland, general manager at the hotel, said: 'This award is testament to all of our hard work here at Park Inn Al Khobar and it's a great honour to be recognised by our industry colleagues and of course, our customers.”

'This achievement will substantiate our presence in the Kingdom and will further position Park Inn by Radisson as a pioneer in mid-market hotel brands in Saudi Arabia. We are committed to continuing our work in helping to grow and diversify the tourism industry in this country,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
