Saudi Arabia launches first phase of Red Sea destination

Red Sea Global announced on Oct. 9 the launch of the first phase of the Red Sea destination, as it started receiving visitors from all over the world.

This achievement will help boost the local tourism sector, the company said on X platform.

In July, CEO John Pagano said the company is largely on track to deliver its target of opening three resorts this year, according to data available with Argaam.

The Red Sea project will have 50 resorts and hotels when it is finished in 2030, offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and 1,300 residential properties spread across 22 islands and six inland sites.

It will also include luxurious marinas, golf courses, and several leisure and entertainment facilities.
