  • GuestReady, a global hospitality & property technology company is announcing its official launch in Saudi Arabia with the opening of the company’s Riyadh office. 

    According to GuestReady’s GCC Managing Director, Reem Al Khatib, the company chose to expand to the Kingdom due to it’s thriving real-estate sector and rapidly growing travel & tourism industry: “Domestic tourism has always been strong in Saudi Arabia and now, with international travel set to play a more significant role to the Kingdom thanks to Vision 2030, we see a tremendous opportunity to not just support guests, investors and property owners, but also the sector as a whole.”

    Under Vision 2030, the country plans to reach 100 million tourists annually by 2030, and along with it, contribute 10% to the country’s GDP and create one million jobs in the tourism industry.

    GuestReady’s launch in the Kingdom is also set to elevate guest-experience for both domestic and international tourists, and short to mid-term renters who choose to stay in GuestReady-managed short-term rental properties.

    New AI Powered Technology

    Along with local expertise powered by global best-practice, GuestReady is also introducing its innovative proprietary platform and property management system (PMS), RentalReady to Saudi Arabia. RentalReady offers all-in-one functionality for managing short-term vacation rentals to both property owners and managers, as it also offers guests streamlined and convenient services and information.

    In what is believed to be a regional first, GuestReady recently introduced two new Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrations into the platform, that in turn, create personalised itineraries for guests across GuestReady’s global network, including Riyadh, as well as new AI-powered guest communications. The itineraries ensure a memorable stay across GuestReady’s network of premium short-term properties, while AI powered communications enables  guest-facing teams to respond swiftly and professionally, providing accurate information and addressing guest inquiries effectively.  RentalReady is currently used by GuestReady as well as independent property managers, hosts, and their respective guests across the Middle East and world-wide. 

    Leading the new Saudi office is, AbdelRahman ElSharkawi, who said that GuestReady’s market entry, and its unique local approach is set to benefit not only guests and investors, but countless stakeholders across the sector: “As we work together to realise Vision 2030, there is a tremendous opportunity to support emerging sectors like the alternative hospitality industry, which GuestReady is tremendously well-placed to do with global credentials, a strong local team and technology like RentalReady.”

    “From a guest point of view, we know that domestic travellers in the Kingdom tend to favour furnished apartments for a variety of reasons and this is a great opportunity for us to elevate their experience through both personal service and technology. From an investor perspective, we can help property owners navigate and capitalise on what is a dynamic and thriving real estate market.”

    “The opening of GuestReady’s Riyadh is a strategic move that allows us to further strengthen our presence in the Middle East and cater to the evolving needs of both tourists and property owners in the region. With our comprehensive suite of property management services and cutting-edge technology, we are confident in our ability to deliver outstanding stays for guests, and outstanding returns for our clients,” added Reem Al Khatib.
