RIYADH, 4 hours, 33 minutes ago
The Saudi Red Sea Authority (SRSA), an independent Saudi government authority responsible for regulating navigational and marine tourism activities, has awarded its first two licences for operating marinas in the cities of Yanbu and Al Lith to Al Ahlam Marine.
This step supports its mission to advance the coastal tourism sector by creating an attractive environment for tourists, investors, and marina operators in the Red Sea region, said SRSA in a statement.
This is rooted in its core mandates, which include issuing licenses and permits, enhancing marina infrastructure, and encouraging investment in marine and navigational tourism activities, it stated.
According to SRSA, the new licenses enhance tourism infrastructure by providing mooring areas for boats and yachts, adhering to the highest safety standards, and facilitating hospitality services, while enriching experiences, regulating tourism activities, and preserving the marine environment.
By licensing these new marinas, SRSA aims to improve infrastructure and promote sustainable tourism along the Red Sea coast, complementing existing licensed operations, which include Red Sea Marina in Jeddah, and Al Ahlam Marina in Jeddah and Jazan, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
