After eight successful years leading the sales and marketing of international luxury hotels, Travel Connections Arabia (TCA) has expanded with a new office opening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Paired with the original UAE-based office in Dubai, this is TCA’s second base in the GCC.

TCA offers a seamless sales and marketing extension to that of its world-class partner hotels, generating lucrative inbound travel business from the Middle East to properties and destinations located around the world.

Through identifying marketing strengths, as well as travel and lifestyle trends, and with an in-depth knowledge of the GCC market, TCA is able to create and nurture strategic alliances to meet its clients’ goals.
Speaking on behalf of TCA, Managing Director Ahmed Soliman said: “We are absolutely thrilled to expand into Saudi Arabia with our second GCC base. We feel it is essential to be present on the ground in this ever-growing Kingdom and hub, where resident business and family travelers alike expect nothing but the best when travelling abroad — and no one is better equipped than TCA to help provide and spread the message of these exceptional experiences.”

TCA’s outstanding collection of hospitality and tourism clients include some of the most exclusive hotels and resorts around the world, such as Iniala Beach House in Phuket, Thailand; The Mark in New York City, USA; The Lanesborough in London, England; Kulm Hotel St. Moritz in Switzerland; Villa Cora in Florence, Italy; and six exceptional Constance Hotels & Resorts, spread across the Indian Ocean’s top destinations: the Seychelles, the Maldives and Mauritius.

Regional Sales Manager Hamada Hefnawy, with more than four years’ experience in the travel and tourism industry, has recently been appointed to cover all of Saudi Arabia.

Travel Connections Arabia (TCA) was launched in 2008 to specialize in the regional sales and marketing of international tourism industry clients. With over 60 years of in-depth experience in the lucrative GCC market, TCA offers unparalleled opportunities for market penetration hitting the travel trade, major corporations and affluent individuals.
