The announcement follows the successful hosting of The 2025 KSA Stakeholder Gathering (TSG2025), held recently in Riyadh last May. 

The event’s Hospitality Awards featured key categories such as “Sustainability Champion of the Year” and “Luxury Hospitality Pioneer,” recognizing companies pioneering and promoting sustainable practices in the hospitality and real estate Industries and setting new standards.

“Saudi Arabia represents a unique intersection of scale, ambition, and transformation,” said Petvin Fernandes, CEO of The Hospitality Network. “Hosting The 2025 KSA Stakeholder Gathering (TSG2025) in May gave us firsthand insight into the region’s forward-thinking approach to hospitality and real Estate. We’re excited to expand our presence here, focused on partnerships that align with Vision 2030 and drive future-ready development.”

A key component of THN’s offerings is supporting hotel developers and operators in embracing technology, innovation, sustainability, and design. Through its consulting services for hospitality suppliers and manufacturers, THN enables new investment and innovation to enter the market.

As part of its expansion efforts in Saudi Arabia, THN also organized roundtable meetings with developers and operators, bringing together hotel partners to foster collaboration, facilitate deep-dive discussions on industry topics, and generate new business opportunities.

By strengthening its on-the-ground service footprint, THN is poised to play a crucial role in aiding informed decision-making and strategic planning. This, in turn, will accelerate the implementation of major hospitality and real estate projects that are part of Vision 2030.
