"The Hotel Show Saudi Arabia", the most important event for the hotel industry in Saudi Arabia, returns to Jeddah at the Jeddah Centre for Forums and Events once again for three days from April 21 – 23.
The fair event, thanks to the participation of over 100 brands from all over the world showcasing products across interiors, lighting and design, technology and security, hygiene and laundry equipment, HORECA (Hotels, Restaurants & Catering), F&B and more and which attracts over 6,500 professionals from the sector, aims to offer a comprehensive platform for all aspects of modern hospitality, offering a 360-degree view of the food and hospitality market.
The event will also host a range of features, CPD seminars as well as loads of networking opportunities with industry peers, including the third edition of the Inter-Hotel Culinary Competition which will return with more hotels battling against each other by putting forward their top chefs to showcase exemplary cooking styles, creativity and share culinary expertise in a live kitchen environment.

Gary Williams, The Hotel Show Saudi Arabia’s event director, underlines the importance of the event and how it is helping to develop the industry:

“With tourists’ arrivals in the Kingdom growing year on year, hoteliers and restaurateurs understand the need to keep investing and researching to keep up with the increased levels of competition and to better serve their clients.”

And he couldn’t be more right: travel bookings in the Kingdom are considered the largest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) - worth more than $25 billion each year - and the hospitality industry's growth shows no sign of slowing down with 64,000 hotel rooms and 187 hotel projects forecast to be added to current supply.
The tourism sector has been in fact earmarked by the government as a key driver for growth in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 economic diversification strategy, with major initiatives to stimulate the travel and tourism industry.
In addition to hotel construction, the hospitality industry market in Saudi Arabia is also fueled by major new infrastructure projects that, with the ease and affordability of tourist visas, are contributing to the growth of the Kingdom's hospitality sector, which is gearing up to enhance their guest experience through high quality service.
