In her speech, Reyes Maroto stressed that Spain “is the world leader in the tourism infrastructure sector” and wants “to be Saudi Arabia’s strategic partner in tourism to help achieve the objectives set out in the Vision 2030 program.” “We have extensive experience in the development of tourism projects and our companies cover the entire value chain,” she added. For the minister, “the high degree of internationalization of the Spanish business sector means that the alliances of Saudi companies with our companies offer excellent opportunities to develop ongoing projects such as Neom, Red Sea or Qiddiya.”
