Saudi's Vision 2030 and the implications for 2024 Hotel Supply Chains
04.01.2024
Saudi Arabia currently has a hotel development portfolio reportedly worth in excess of US$110 billion, which will result in the development of circa 310,000 hotel rooms by 2030. This will impact on certain market participants (both locally and further afield) who may struggle to navigate the increased demand for materials and expertise without proper planning. James Stripe writes about these upcoming supply chain challenges and what hotel developers and operators can do to mitigate this.
