We are proud to announce the launch of Louna  a newly launched hospitality development company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), dedicated to crafting exceptional experiences that captivate guests and celebrate local heritage. As part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious drive to diversify its economy and become a global tourism hub, Louna aims to shape the future of hospitality by combining world-class standards with the Kingdom’s rich cultural identity.

 

Saudi Arabia’s booming hospitality market

Under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the hospitality and tourism sector has been earmarked for rapid expansion.

Such large-scale initiatives place Saudi Arabia among the fastest-growing travel destinations in the world.

 

Significant capital investments

To meet these ambitious targets, the Saudi government has committed over USD 1 trillion to tourism-related projects, including high-profile developments like the Red Sea Project, Qiddiya, NEOM, and AMAALA. These projects are expected to create thousands of jobs, stimulate local businesses, and boost the nation’s global standing in luxury, adventure, and cultural tourism.
