Hotel groups

Who runs what, and at which level commercial decisions are taken. Saudi Arabia adds a category most markets do not have: the owner-developer. Red Sea Global, Diriyah Company, NEOM, Jabal Omar and Taiba take decisions for properties inside their projects that elsewhere would sit with the operator or the hotel.

The entry point is the level at which a commercial decision is actually taken. Saudi Arabia adds a category most markets do not have: the owner-developer. For properties inside The Red Sea, Diriyah, NEOM, Jabal Omar or Taiba projects, the conversation starts with the developer rather than the operator or the hotel.
