“Saudi is an exciting, fast-growing tourism destination that offers the world’s travellers a diverse, culturally-rich experience, redolent of Arabian mystique and grounded in authentic Saudi hospitality,” said Fahd Hamidaddin, CEO of the Saudi Tourism Authority. “Despite the challenges of the past eighteen months we have seen considerable growth in visitation and spend across many regions of the country and we are optimistic about the future of tourism in Saudi. This is a great time to welcome Ajlan & Bros Holding Group and Desert Adventures Tourism to the Saudi tourism ecosystem and we look forward to collaborating with them, as well as with our other partners, in bringing new, competitive products and services to the market.”

In line with the Vision 2030 program, the Group has embarked on a significant diversification program in the Kingdom and the MENA region, which includes tourism and hospitality sectors. 

 

With its 25 years of experience in destination management in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Oman, Desert Adventures Tourism has been a partner of choice for many worldwide tour operators due to its stability, consistency, and ultimately, quality of service. 

 

During the virtual signing ceremony, Fahad bin Saad Alajlan, sponsor of tourism and hospitality of Ajlan & Bros, highlighted: “Ajlan & Bros are committed to helping realise Saudi Vision 2030 and increasing the prosperity of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Through this partnership, we will not only become a market leader in this sector but also create new jobs and support elevating the Kingdom as a prime tourism destination.”

We believe that combining Ajlan & Bros’ strength and Desert Adventures Tourism expertise will result in a highly successful venture with a unique tourism offering of “Saudi by Saudis” and providing highest levels of quality.”
