The agreements were signed in Riyadh in the presence of John Pagano, Group CEO of RSG, and Wajdy M. Al-Ghabban, CEO of SACC. A number of senior executives from Red Sea Global as well as SACC's
Chairman of the board of directors and other members of the Board and executives were also in attendance.
As a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, RSG is playing a critical role in diversifying the economy and creating opportunities for Saudi nationals to break into the tourism sector.
As part of the 70,000 jobs that The Red Sea destination will create once fully operational, this collaboration will offer more than 500 new industry roles for talent within the Kingdom.
Mr. Mohammed Al-Sarhan, Chairman of Saudi Airlines Catering Company, expressed his pride alongside the board of directors, executive management, and all employees in this significant milestone for the company.
He emphasized that these two contracts mark the beginning of a strong strategic partnership with Red Sea Global, aimed at enhancing joint efforts to serve the tourism industry in the Kingdom and solidify its position on the global tourism map. This partnership aligns with the goals of Vision 2030, reflecting an ambitious nation, a vibrant society, and a thriving economy.
The partnership comes as RSG prepares to welcome the first guests to The Red Sea later this year. Upon full completion in 2030, the destination will have 50 hotels, with up to 8,000 hotel rooms, as well as residential properties and villas.
