Saudi brand to be re-vamped
2004-04-19
Who says that our dear friends in the peninsula don’t move with the times?
The Supreme Commission for Tourism (SCT) has appointed a private branding consultancy to develop the Kingdom’s tourism brand identity. This is the first partnership with the private sector to materialize under the Kingdom’s new tourism strategy.
Visit Saudi for a different type of holiday! Gorp at public executions! Get harrased by the Mutawwa’een! Go & visit... stuff!
The tie-up with Landor Associates, a global brand consulting and design agency, is slated to help attract more non-traditional foreign tourists to the Kingdom.
More non-trad tourist? Like they get any currently?
“Landor will develop a brand strategy to promote Saudi destinations for tourists over the next nine months,” SCT chief Prince Sultan ibn Salman said yesterday.
This I have to see...
