Hotels to highlight local food, culture | Arab News
Prince Sultan bin Salman, president of the Saudi Commission for Tourism
and National Heritage (SCTNH), has announced plans to develop the
Kingdom’s islands in the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf into tourist destinations.
This would be done after the establishment of the Investment and Development Tourist Company, which is owned by the state, he said during a recent press conference at the SCTNH’s headquarters in Riyadh, a local publication reported.
Prince Sultan said that SCTNH was on the verge of developing a new product focused on Saudi food. “When we go into hotels we see European and Asian restaurants, but we hardly see a Saudi restaurant, so we aim to set up professional restaurants with professional Saudi chefs who offer an experience that reflects the Kingdom’s heritage and identity,” he said.
