PORT HARCOURT, linked non-stop from London by a three times per week Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340 service, will have a much needed choice of hotels from 2006. A new Holiday Inn is to open, managed by the brand owner InterContinental Hotels Group. Often with operations of this kind a local company takes over the running of the hotel but in this case InterContinental will oversee the day-to-day operation. The hotel will feature 80 rooms. Port Harcourt is the centre of Nigeria”s thriving oil export business but is not known as one of the world”s most hospitable places.
