The company sees significant potential for inbound tourism from Europe to Saudi Arabia and will be establishing a sales and marketing office established in Jeddah in July – Within Earth Holidays will also collaborate with Saudi Tourism Authority to draw more visitors to the destination.
In addition, the Bali office will open in 2H2024, targeting inbound leisure and business events from Eastern Europe and German-speaking countries such as Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. He remarked that the German-speaking markets have shown increased interest in visiting the Far East post-lockdown, supported by improved air connectivity.
“We have been working with a good representation company based in Germany, who has great connection with agents in the German speaking markets and Europe who have brought leisure and business event groups to Malaysia and Indonesia for many years. Our agents appreciate our operations in Malaysia, and when our representation company ended their cooperation with an Indonesian ground handler, we saw it as an opportunity to open an office in Bali to service our European agents.”
