“Since I arrived in my role last year, I have been impressed by what I’ve seen emerging in Saudi Arabia. It is truly incredible and inspiring to consider the future potential of Saudi, with its remarkable infrastructure projects and rapidly changing business environment. There is no doubt this is already creating significant opportunity for the hospitality industry. I couldn’t be more optimistic about the future of Hilton in Saudi Arabia… Saudi Arabia represents Hilton’s largest development pipeline in the Middle East.”
