Operating three times weekly with a stop in Lagos, this new route directly addresses a major logistical gap in intra-African travel.

The new route will connect Singapore Changi International Airport (SIN) with King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh, operating Airbus A350-900 aircraft with a seating capacity of 303 per flight.

These include the global debut of the Emirates Wolgan Valley, a Ritz-Carlton Lodge in Australia’s Greater Blue Mountains, the JW Marriott Ranthambore Resort & Spa in India’s wilderness, and HOTEL THE MITSUI HAKONE, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa in Japan.

The investment will specifically support the growth of its proprietary brands, such as Operation Falafel, Catch-22, and Awani, within these high-growth markets.

The initiative has disbursed nearly R36 million (US$1.91 million), approved 172 applications (primarily women- and youth-owned enterprises), retained over 297 jobs, and saved businesses an estimated R2.4 million (US$127,000) in annualized interest, reinvesting close to R16 million (US$848,000) back into local operations.

The platform provides a single interface for employees to order from multiple vendors, including food trucks, pop-ups, workplace cafés, and catering operations, while coordinating fulfillment across these different providers.

The renovation aims to cater to a diverse clientele, including families, leisure diners, and business guests, within a relaxed yet contemporary setting.

Initiatives include the co-creation of Zambia-focused tour packages tailored to Korean preferences, organizing familiarization trips for leading Korean tour operators and media, and launching targeted destination marketing campaigns.

This agreement underscores Aleph Hospitality’s dedicated strategy to support hotel developers across Africa, providing professional management for owners entering high-growth markets.

The restored manor will feature 11 luxury accommodation units, reintroducing high-end lodging to an estate recognized as the first registered company in the Cape Winelands.
