Saudi Arabia is now a leading sports tourism destination, bolstered by its established religious and artistic attractions. The Saudi football league is gaining recognition worldwide, attracting international stars and appealing to football enthusiasts. This not only benefits Saudi Arabia but also positions the Middle East as a significant player in technology, sports, and real estate development. To fully capitalize on this progress, it’s important to meet the needs of football enthusiasts & attract investors through exceptional hosting venues. By combining sports tourism with religious, artistic, and archaeological tourism, even greater benefits can be unlocked. This milestone achievement brings countless opportunities for real estate companies, particularly in residential, commercial, and office spaces. Adapting and incorporating these developments into their strategies will help real estate companies stay ahead in this flourishing market. To cater to international tourists, the hospitality and restaurant industry should enhance their offerings. Providing a diverse range of international cuisines alongside high quality Saudi & Arabian dishes will create a memorable experience for visitors. Private entities, service companies, hotels, and international sportswear brands should also focus on strategic planning to leverage the unprecedented opportunities arising from upcoming events & developments. As Saudi Arabia becomes a prominent force in football, it’s crucial to explore and maximize the potential of upcoming Saudi leagues. This presents exciting possibilities not only for Saudi Arabia but also for the international community. #Vision2030 #SaudiFootballLeague #MiddleEastTourism #InternationalStars #SportingEvents #HospitalityIndustry #BusinessOpportunities

Cities of the future: New ambitions, new players, new divides #anticipation #cities #geopolitics #governance #trends #newmurabbastadium As we diligently observe the geopolitical shifts in our world each month, the analysis of futuristic city projects and new urban developments proves to be exceptionally revealing. Like dreams, these projects unveil our hopes and fears, ultimately reflecting the visions of perfect, celestial, or ideal cities that their sponsors aspire to create. In embracing this exercise, we choose to delve into the exploration of future city projects, not to dissect their technical feasibility or promised technological advancements, but rather to scrutinize the political, social, economic, and ideological underpinnings that drive them. From NEOM (Saudi Arabia) to Praxis (the first crypto-state city dreamed up by Silicon Valley), via Nusantara (Indonesia’s new capital city-province) and the floating city of the Maldives, these urban ‘utopias’ have similarities and tensions that tell us about the visions and wills that inhabit our present and that are helping to shape our future, come what may... read more https://lnkd.in/dS_2zXuW

2024 is crazy busy already but all is not always so rosey! One international project we were due to kick off in the coming weeks has now been cancelled. We didn't include it in the rundown of projects in the Safe Events Global post below as it wasn't yet fully confirmed - albeit we did do it last year so the expectation on all sides was it would happen again. Things can change VERY quickly in the #events industry. #enablingcreativity #SafeEventsGlobal #eventsafety #crowdsafety #eventprofs #eventprofsUK

Final question to me after speaking to many theme park operators, managers and Directors. ‘What free resources are there to be inclusive and be more accessible’ Me - ‘Why should it be free? You pay for fire consultancy, you pay for Health and Safety, you pay for marketing. Let me tell you right now, being more accessible is quite possibly the best possible business case there is. More people will visit your theme park, and lets not forget disabled people do not come in stylos. They come with family, friends, partners, children all of which will bring you more revenue’ ‘So why should it be free?’ ‘If you definately want to fast track it, get a more diverse workforce. That’s the best form of training you could give your team. And until one in ten of your employees have some form of hearing loss, you don’t have a diverse workforce that is an accurate refelction of the population’ 🎢♿️ #InclusionMatters #BreakingBarriers #AccessibleFun Saudi Entertainment and Amusement (SEA) Expo #Speaker #Accessibility #SeaExpo Direct Access Group
