20 Nov 2001 - On Thursday 8th. November 2001, the first Sol Meliá
hotel in Malta, the Sol Suncrest was officially inaugurated. The event
was hosted by the hotel owner, Angelo Xuereb and attended by the Executive
Vice President of the Sol Meliá European Division, Andrés
Encinas and is the result of a management agreement signed in June this
year between the Spanish hotel company and Suncrest Hotels p.l.c, a subsidiary
of AX Holdings.
According to Andrés Encinas,
�the incorporation of the Sol Suncrest in Malta makes it ten countries
in the Mediterranean in which we now provide hotels: Croatia, France, Egypt,
Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Spain, Turkey and Tunisia�, adding that,
�the Sol Suncrest joins the other two projects that we have already signed
for Malta, and more than 30 additional hotels we have scheduled to open
in the Mediterranean over the next two years. This will help us to maintain
our dominance of the hotel business in the Mediterranean region while also
consolidating our position as the leading resort hotel company in the world�.

Angelo Xeureb, Chairman of
AX Holdings hands over symbolically the �Key of the Building� to
Andres Encinas, Vice President Operation Sol Melia. The Minister of Tourism,
Hon Dr. Michael Refaelo is applauding the gesture. |
Encinas also highlighted that, �one of the advantages of the Sol Suncrest,
apart from the fact that it has been a public company since 1997, is that
it is already operating in a mature market and has thus been relatively
easy to integrate within the company in a very short timeframe, allowing
the hotel to reap the benefits of our sales organization and management
know-how from day one�.
The Sol Suncrest Hotel enjoys a strategic location in Qawra in the north
of Malta. It is a modern hotel located right alongside the sea and with
a spectacular view over the Mediterranean. Qawra provides excellent facilities
for tourism and is an ideal destination for resting for a few days or for
incentive trips or business conferences, never far from wonderful sandy
beaches, archaeological treasures and historical monuments.
