In this video:

  • Regenerative Tourism: A deeper look at how The Red Sea Development celebrates nature and champions sustainability and wellness to create dynamic, future-ready tourism experiences.
  • World-leading Projects: An overview of Red Sea’s latest pioneering regenerative development projects along the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast.
  • Partnerships: How The Red Sea Development Company shares learning and knowledge in the space, teaming up with scientific and environmental groups to deliver 100 percent renewable tourism.
  • Carbon-Neutral: How carbon sequestration and neutralization features in Red Sea’s broader vision, including around a large-scale international airport.

With sustainability and 100 percent renewable protocols at the heart of its vision, The Red Sea Development Company has been guiding Saudi Arabia’s recent diversification into a dynamic destination by helping construct cutting-edge tourism infrastructure along the Red Sea coast.

In this one-on-one, CEO John Pagano takes us through the shared vision behind Red Sea’s regenerative approach — one that strives to make destinations better off as a result of tourism. He highlights how more groups in the industry can “break inertia” to dust off the status quo and step boldly into a new paradigm of renewability, sustainability, and regeneration, with future generations and the well-being of the planet top of mind.
