Originally aiming to build a new five-star hotel for delegates, the Secretariat has switched gears to \u201cPlan B\u201d due to unforeseen construction delays.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Nfally Fadera, the OIC Head of Brand and Communication, revealed this during a presentation of the project plan before the National Assembly Select Committee overseeing Government Projects on January 23, 2024.Originally, the plan was to construct a five-star hotel for delegates; however, due to construction delays, the hotel would not be ready before the Summit. Fadera informed the committee that despite the setback, the Secretariat is committed to offering a five-star accommodation experience for guests and delegates. To achieve this, they are now collaborating with the Hotel Association to utilize the country\u2019s existing 4000-plus bed capacity, including upscale accommodation facilities. Additionally, they are exploring alternative options such as floating hotels (Cruise ships) in the ongoing resource mobilization drive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we are still determined to provide a five-star accommodation experience for the guests and delegates, the Secretariat is partnering with the Hotel Association to leverage the country\u2019s pre-existing 4000-plus bed capacity which includes some upper-scale accommodation facilities and also exploring other complementary possibilities in the ongoing resource mobilization drive that is floating hotels(Cruise-ship),\u201d Fadera told the NAMs.<\/p>\n<p>Fadera emphasized that the Secretariat has reached its final mandate of event planning and management for the summit. They are actively working with the local organizing community, comprised of experts and volunteers nationwide, to provide expertise ranging from security to media and communication.Key projects, including the construction of an international conference centre, road construction, airport lounge, presidential suite, five-star hotel, VIP accommodation, security, water, and electricity, are underway. Fadera acknowledged challenges in the progress of the five-star hotel but assured that adjustments would be made, focusing on VIP security as part of the next phase of event planning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome priority projects which are the construction of an international conference centre, road construction projects to build an airport lounge a presidential one, a five-star hotel, accommodation VIP cars, security, water, and electricity. I am happy to report that those projects are put in motion. The five-star hotel is underway although not going as we expected but will also base it on the VIP security, which also is all part of the next task as part of the event planning,\u201d Mr Fadera expressed.<\/p>\n<p>The OIC Summit, an inter-governmental organization representing the collective voice of Muslims globally, aims to safeguard the social, economic, and political interests of Muslims worldwide. As the second-largest intergovernmental organization after the United Nations, the summit in the Gambia is expected to host a minimum of 4000 delegates, comprising heads of state, rulers, and kings who collectively make decisions on behalf of the organization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
