Serco appointed to support Red Sea Global's carbon-neutral mobility services

 

 

16 May 2023

 

 

Serco, the international public services company, has been appointed by Red
Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the world's most ambitious regenerative
tourism destinations, The Red Sea and Amaala, to act as the managing agent for
their full suite of sustainable mobility services across Saudi Arabia's
visionary new tourism destination, The Red Sea.

 

The contract will see Serco working with RSG's Mobility team to ensure a
world-class, net-zero mobility experience for guests at The Red Sea. The
carbon-neutral destination covers more than 90 islands, of which only 22 will
be developed. The resorts will be reliant on multiple modes of green transport
across land, marine, and air - from seaplanes and boats to buggies - to ensure
that guests enjoy a seamless luxury experience from the moment they arrive.

 

Following their successful partnership with Transport Management Services
(TMS) Global, this marks Serco's first major transport partnership within a
giga-project. Serco will be responsible for supporting the oversight of
operations and maintenance, performance management, health and safety, and
guest experience across the development.

 

John Pagano, Group CEO at Red Sea Global said: "The unique mobility
requirements for The Red Sea are ambitious ones; our mobility network was
meticulously designed to advance our vision, redefining destination operations
in line with our regenerative approach to tourism development. In Serco, we
have found a best-in-class partner who shares our values in prioritizing
people and the planet, armed with global delivery expertise to shape seamless
experiences for our guests."

 

Phil Malem, CEO at Serco Middle East said: "This landmark partnership for our
transport operations in Saudi will create new roles in the Kingdom and is very
much aligned with our company purpose of bringing national visions to life.
Our global experience in mobility operations, coupled with the huge ambitions
for The Red Sea, means guests will enjoy an incredible experience throughout
their entire journey. Through giga projects, such as this one, Saudi is
pushing exciting boundaries in the use of innovations, technology and
international best practices to deliver the best possible customer
experiences."

 

The Red Sea is on track to welcome its first guests this year when the initial
hotels open, alongside the first phase of the Red Sea International Airport.
Upon full completion in 2030, the destination will comprise 50 resorts,
offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and more than 1,000 residential properties
across 22 islands and six inland sites. The destination will also include
luxury marinas, golf courses, entertainment, F&B, and leisure facilities.
