Elaf Group has announced plans to open budget hotels across India.
The Saudi-based group is also looking to expand its tourism services by reaching out to Indian Umrah pilgrims.
The announcement was made at a recently held Indian culinary festival in Jeddah.
Abdullah H Bakri, the group’s vice president, said Elaf has been eyeing a couple of opportunities to set-up properties and services in India. It is also partnering with Indian corporates in order to access a wider base of Indian tourists looking to travel to Umrah.
Bakri said: “The relationship between the two great nations has been ever growing in terms of business relations, manpower services, cultural activities, tourism and pilgrimage. We see India as a strong partner.”
Elaf currently operates hotels in Mecca, Madinah and Jeddah.
