Seera Group has signed a global agreement with Hilton.
The direct connectivity distribution agreement will provide Seera Group customers with access to the hotel chain’s current global portfolio of more than 6,300 properties in 118 countries and territories at affordable rates. The agreement also enables Seera to promote destinations where these hotels are located to visitors from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, and beyond.
The agreement will also provide Hilton access to Seera Group’s diverse business entities such as Almosafer, the group’s flagship consumer travel brand and the leading travel brand in KSA, tajawal; its online travel agency in the UAE; and Discover Saudi, Seera’s dedicated destination management company, further strengthening Hilton’s visibility and sales.
Additionally, travel partners of Seera’s Corporate & Government business elaa, as well as agents working with Mawasim, the group’s Hajj & Umrah business, will get access to best available rates and increased availability. As Seera Group readies for the post-pandemic travel rebound, the new partnership complements its strategy to drive growth, partnering with hotels in different markets, as they mark their progressive reopening.
