Almosafer, Saudi Arabia’s leading travel company (part of Seera Group), has entered into a global strategic partnership with Mandarin Oriental, one of the world’s leading luxury hotel groups. The significant partnership, announced at World Travel Market London 2024, provides Almosafer exclusive access to Mandarin’s highly rated global property portfolio of 41 hotels and resorts, elevating Almosafer’s luxury hospitality segment.
The global direct connectivity agreement with a special focus on Saudi Arabia follows the growing demand for ultra-luxury travel among Almosafer’s clients. It will enable Almosafer’s B2B and B2C customers to gain access to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s global portfolio of 41 properties across 26 countries. Travellers will enjoy direct access to real-time inventory and competitive pricing through Almosafer’s consumer platforms as Almosafer elevates its luxury offerings and enhances its services to high-end customers. The partnership will further enable Almosafer to promote Mandarin Oriental to travellers from Saudi Arabia and beyond.
The partnership will also provide the luxury Group access to Almosafer’s extensive network of agents through their Destination Management Company, Discover Saudi, resulting in greater brand visibility and reach for Mandarin Oriental’s KSA properties.
Muzzammil Ahussain, Chief Executive Officer of Almosafer, said: “We are delighted to elevate our luxury offerings through our newly inked agreement with the prestigious and iconic Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. While enabling the award-winning hotel group greater brand visibility through our omnichannel portfolio, we look forward to enhancing our unique offerings to our discerning clients through this significant partnership. At Almosafer, we’ve always strived to set industry benchmarks, and I’m confident the luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group will add to the allure of our attractive hospitality portfolio.”
Geoffrey Webb, Vice President, Global Sales at Mandarin Oriental adds: “We are thrilled to embark on this strategic partnership with Almosafer, which allows us to expand our presence in Saudi Arabia further and cater to the growing demand for ultra-luxury travel. By providing Almosafer’s customers direct access to our global portfolio, we look forward to offering exceptional experiences to discerning travellers from the region and beyond.”
As part of the strategic partnership, Almosafer Concierge, Almosafer’s dedicated server solution for UHNW travellers, has been integrated into Mandarin Oriental’s one-of-a-kind partner recognition programme, Fans of M.O, that offers signature benefits and exclusive privileges to guests across their hospitality group. The first holistic luxury travel concierge service from Saudi Arabia will leverage this partnership to provide VIP customers with Mandarin Oriental added benefits during their stays.
Steeped in the values of the Orient, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group excels in contemporary luxury merged with their signature oriental charm. Almosafer’s strategic partnership with the global hospitality group builds on the travel company’s commitment to offer better access along with competitive rates for their exclusive clientele.
