“Working with Virtuoso, we\u2019ll showcase the distinct benefits of regenerative tourism, while bringing our unparalleled guest experiences to travelers from all over the world,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Located on the west coast of Saudi Arabia across 28,000 square kilometers of pristine lands and waters, The Red Sea will be home to a host of prestigious luxury brands, including Ritz Carlton Reserve and Miraval resorts – the first to operate in the Middle East. While staying at some of the world\u2019s most iconic hotels, visitors to The Red Sea can enjoy diverse activities across the full spectrum of retail, sport, entertainment, health and wellness \u2013 from desert safaris and spa days to sailing and diving.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”134964″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1684979053009{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1684979150416{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”]A key attribute of the new partnership is The Red Sea’s alignment with Virtuoso’s longstanding goal of advancing sustainable tourism principles and practices. A core value for the network, Virtuoso\u2019s commitment to sustainability spans more than a decade and includes recognition of people and entities leading the way through awards and editorial coverage, the establishment of a Sustainability Council, related training and professional development for its affiliated travel advisors, and authoring its latest Virtuoso Sustainability White Paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cRed Sea Global\u2019s unique approach to developing a luxury offering while enhancing natural capital, undoubtedly aligns with our ambition to help drive the transition to green tourism,\u201d said Cory Hagopian, Senior Vice President Sales & Partnerships, Virtuoso<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith travellers increasingly searching for destinations that marry opulence with eco-friendly activities, The Red Sea is set to securely place Saudi Arabia on the global tourism map.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The destination will also include an international airport, luxury marinas, golf courses, entertainment, and leisure facilities.<\/p>\n

Through the partnership with Virtuoso, Red Sea Global will have direct access to leisure travel agencies in North and Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1560229304502{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
