Red Sea Global is now working on projects to improve beaches, like establishing new mangrove ecosystems.
Red Sea Global (RSG), the corporation behind the megatourism attractions The Red Sea and Amaala in Saudi Arabia, has released a construction update for the area to commemorate its six-year progress.
The first three hotels in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which was first suggested by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman six years ago, are already complete, and the country’s first phase of the international airport is set to open later this year.
Red Sea Global’s contribution to Vision 2030
“Remarkable progress” has been accomplished, according to Red Sea Global’s most recent development update, which also mentions the addition of 13 additional hotels and accompanying infrastructure.
Our Red Sea International Airport will open this summer and have the capacity to handle both domestic and international planes by 2024. Red Sea Global’s Group Chief Executive Officer, John Pagano, called the airport “a full-scale, boutique airport built to handle all sizes of aircraft, from private jets to the Airbus A380” in an exclusive interview conducted in June. It will also be the first airport in the area with a runway specifically designed for seaplanes.
He went on, “This year we expect our initial resorts at The Red Sea, Six Senses Southern Dunes, St. Regis, and Nujuma Ritz-Carlton Reserve to open for business, providing a total of 248 keys.”
The majority of the properties, including Desert Rock, which is being incorporated into the rockface, are finished. After extensive excavation, 195 meters of tunnels and eleven rooms were cut out of the rock.
Together with other structural and infrastructure projects, the wadi villas, guest centers, and back of house building have all been completed.
As we prepare to present The Red Sea destination to the global community, “we are poised for an incredible opportunity.” In the six-year progress report, Pagano noted that “we have made exceptional progress, creating exquisite resorts and best-in-class, sustainable infrastructure in a remote location, demonstrating innovation in line with our regenerative approach and commitment to responsible development.”
On Shura Island, where 11 hotels and other infrastructure projects are being constructed, there are more than 100 active building contracts.
