November 7, 2023 – World Travel Market / London

TDS Travel, a digital DMC and ground handling services specialist in emerging markets, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with DUR Hospitality, a prominent multi-brand hotel group in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The deal allows TDS Travel to offer its B2B customers an exclusive selection of hotels at unbeatable profit margins, even during peak religious holidays.
The agreement was officially signed during World Travel Market London (WTM) 2023. This move is poised to increase direct sales for Dur Hospitality properties across international markets through TDS offices in key international cities, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Cairo, Jakarta, Istanbul, Casablanca, London, and São Paulo.

Adam Salem, DUR Hospitality Commercial Director, said: “As a key player in Saudi Arabia’s thriving tourism industry, Dur Hospitality has been implementing a full expansion strategy to meet the growth in demand as the Kingdom continues to attract more international tourists. Backed by our meticulously crafted offerings and strategic partnerships, Dur is well-positioned to meet and exceed this demand with a full lineup of services that seamlessly blend Saudi authenticity with world-class standards and modern technologies. We believe our collaboration with TDS is a gateway to reach more markets with our diverse portfolio of hotels and offerings designed to cater to the Kingdom’s visitors – from Hajj and Umrah pilgrims to vacationers and business travelers.”
Saudi Arabia ranked second globally in terms of international tourist arrivals, with a remarkable growth of 58% in visitor numbers in the first seven months of 2023, compared to the same period in 2019.

Ali Taheri, TDS Travel CCO, commented: “In line with KSA tourism strategy & inbound travel initiatives, we have opened two offices in Jeddah and Riyadh this year and deployed experienced commercial resources across the kingdom, to ensure our partner hotel suppliers can speak to sourcing and distribution colleagues around the clock on site. This partnership with DUR Hospitality is testament to our commitment to bring the world to KSA, as we promote Saudi Arabia for leisure and religious purposes.”
