TDF and Dusit International forge landmark partnership to elevate Saudi Arabia’s hospitality sector

As Saudi Arabia continues to make tremendous strides towards becoming one of the world’s most attractive tourist destinations, the Tourism Development Fund (TDF) has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing the industry. This was highlighted by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dusit International. The MoU will see TDF work closely with Dusit International to develop a range of world-class hospitality projects in the Kingdom. In line with Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Tourism Strategy, the partnership is fully geared towards setting Saudi Arabia apart as a must-visit destination — a go-to tourism hotspot — distinguished by a first-class array of luxury hotels and resorts.

The MoU marks the latest step taken by TDF to transform the Kingdom into a global hub of immersive tourism experiences, reiterating the Fund’s focus on effective and truly aligned partnership-building to advance the Saudi tourism sector and fulfil the Kingdom’s potential as a leading player on the international tourism stage.

Renowned for its rich traditions, stunning landscapes, proud heritage and diverse range of spiritual landmarks and historic sites, Saudi Arabia is home to some of the most engaging tourist attractions in the world. Together with Dusit International, TDF aims to call attention to these places of interest and attract more visitors and travelers to embark on rewarding journeys and tourist experiences across the Kingdom.

Mr. Qusai Al-Fakhri, TDF’s CEO, said: “This MoU is a pivotal milestone in our strategy to attract world-class partners and create distinctive and sustainable tourism destinations in Saudi Arabia. We are pleased to be collaborating with Dusit International, whose expertise in hospitality aligns perfectly with our ambition to unlock the full potential of the Kingdom’s tourism sector. Together, we aim to shape extraordinary destinations that will have a lasting positive impact on the sector.”
