This influx has been supported by enhanced global connectivity through new airport developments and expanded flight routes, allowing Saudi cities such as Riyadh and Madinah to compete with established international tourism destinations.

At the heart of this strategy is the recently announced Visitor Experience (VX) Academy, established in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Hospitality Academy – Les Roches.

As part of its expansion efforts, Expedia TAAP, a key part of the company’s B2B network, Private Label Solutions, is launching in the UAE to meet the growing demand for travel services in the Middle East.

Operating twice weekly, the new route marks a strategic expansion for the airline and opens up fresh opportunities for travel, tourism, and business between the two nations.

The move underscores the company’s focus on deepening relationships with its more than 60 airline customers across the continent and supporting the broader development of the African aerospace industry.

Since the start of April 2025, 804 hosted buyer applications have been received from 55 countries, showcasing an increasing demand for African tourism products and services.

The partnership will integrate ZentrumHub’s cutting-edge hotel API with FlyAkeed’s platform, which will not only simplify the hotel booking process but will also enhance the overall customer experience, providing businesses with a unified travel solution.

The newly launched mobile app provides users with convenient access to NANTA resources on the go, while the redesigned website features a more intuitive interface, streamlining access to vital information and services.

The camp itself features four luxury bell tents, traditional circular canvas structures, each fitted with en-suite outdoor bathrooms and private wood-fired hot tubs.
