3 min
Red Sea Global partners with Adobe and Globant to enhance the Red Sea visitor experience.
The aim is to make digital journeys as immersive as the physical destination.
Adobe's Experience Cloud uses AI to personalise and simplify the booking process.
Globant introduces a "Connected Visitor Experience" by synchronising data and content across platforms.
The initiative sets a benchmark for sustainable luxury travel in Saudi Arabia's tourism sector.
Red Sea Global has teamed up with Adobe and Globant to switch up how visitors experience Saudi Arabia’s stunning Red Sea region—both online and in person. The aim is simple but ambitious: design digital journeys that feel every bit as immersive as setting foot on those sandy shores.
Now, if you’ve ever tried to book a luxury trip online and ended up knee-deep in cluttered websites, you’ll understand why this partnership matters. Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind destinations like The Red Sea and AMAALA, wants their VisitRedSea.com platform to mirror the serenity and grandeur of the destination itself. As Sultan Moraished, the group’s Head of Technology and Corporate Excellence, put it, every step—from browsing to booking to arriving—should leave guests as spellbound as the landscapes they’ll encounter.
Adobe’s Experience Cloud, driven by much-talked-about artificial intelligence, sits at the heart of the project. It’s what will handle the personalisation magic—tailoring content dynamically and, hopefully, making that endless scroll for the perfect resort a thing of the past. Their President for EMEA, Luc Dammann, described it as crafting a journey where “every interaction counts.” I reckon he’s spot on; no one wants a travel site that feels like it was cobbled together on a Monday morning.
Globant, RSG’s technology partner, is the one putting all the wires together—literally and figuratively—with what they call a “Connected Visitor Experience.” It’s designed to synchronise data, content, and behaviour across web, mobile, and even on-site experiences. Federico Pienovi from Globant explained that their focus is to unify AI, data, and IoT, making sure visitors’ digital footprints translate smoothly into real-world luxury. That said, integrating all that shiny tech isn’t exactly a walk in the park—getting AI, analytics, and personalisation to play nicely can be a bit of a faff.
From the looks of it, though, Red Sea Global isn’t shying away from complexity. They’re setting a benchmark not just for Saudi Arabia’s growing tourism sector but for how sustainable, high-end travel can embrace tech in a way that actually feels human. And here at Arageek, where we’re always chuffed to see startups and innovators across MENA stretching what’s possible, it’s a reminder of just how fast the region’s digital transformation is moving.
The wider picture’s pretty bold too—new resorts, a fresh airport terminal upgrade at Al Wajh, and the regenerative model RSG keeps talking about could redefine how tourism aligns with sustainability in the Gulf. Whether it’s all as seamless in practice as it sounds on paper, well… we’ll have to wait and see. But for now, the marriage between cutting-edge tech and coastal beauty seems like a winning combinaison.
