Q . HOW MANY PARTNERS HAVE HELPED WITH THE ENTIRE RED SEA PROJECT ?
» Our ambition cannot be achieved by us alone , and we have a growing number of partners who bring not only the right expertise , but also the passion and commitment to innovation needed to support our mission to change the way tourism development is delivered . Between The Red Sea and Amaala projects , we have already awarded more than 1,300 contracts worth in excess of SAR 25 bn ($ 6.6bn ).
Q . HOW IMPORTANT ARE THOSE PARTNERSHIPS FOR RED SEA GLOBAL ’ S SUCCESS ?
» Partnerships are vital for innovation . We ’ ve worked closely with the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in many ventures from the outset , and these collaborations have contributed greatly to our science-led approach to development .
Partnerships with the private sector are just as important . For example , we formed our first joint-venture last year with Almutlaq Real Estate Investment Co .; together , we ’ ll develop our Jumeirah The Red Sea , a 159-key resort on Shura Island . The joint venture demonstrates the private sector ’ s confidence in The Red Sea destination ’ s future success .
