The Red Sea Project is a 200-kilometer coastal section of the Tabuk province, which is located in northwestern Saudi Arabia. When completed, its area will be 28,000 square kilometers. The Red Sea Project will combine a network of islands, beaches, deserts, mountainous and volcanic locations. It is part of the Vision 2030 program, aimed at increasing the tourism and investment attractiveness of the region. According to experts, the project will provide the kingdom with $ 5.86 billion in the first year after its opening. The influx of tourists will be facilitated by developed infrastructure and the highest level of service. Work has already begun on a number of central elements of the Red Sea Project, including the construction of 77 km of roads, highways and interchanges connecting major destinations. By 2023, it is planned to build 3,000 hotel rooms in 14 luxury hotels, a marina, recreation centers and its own airport, which will allow 80% of the world's population to reach the Red Sea Project in just 8 hours of flight and will receive up to one million visitors per year. Its location is ideal for guests from Asia, Africa and Europe. Over 250 million people live within a three-hour flight. What is interesting about the Red Sea Project The tourist appeal of the region is due to a number of reasons. The average temperature in summer is 32 degrees, and 360 sunny days a year allow you to receive visitors at any time. Guests will be able to dive into a huge barrier reef system, where they will encounter corals and several endangered species of animals. In addition, the islands will have developed infrastructure for water sports. By 2030, the Red Sea Project will welcome tourists with 50 brand new hotels located on 22 islands and 6 different territories. In addition, it will provide jobs for about 70,000 people, annually creating all the conditions for the rest of one million tourists. At the same time, the government of Saudi Arabia plans to treat the environment as carefully as possible so that the project does not harm the environment. The organizers have a policy of "green" production, which implies the absence of industrial and domestic water resources in sea water, the rejection of disposable plastic products, the fight against spontaneous landfills and 100% carbon energy, that is, zero carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles, industrial and agricultural enterprises. The main way to achieve carbon neutrality is the installation of solar and wind power plants. The Red Sea Project plans to receive about 210 MW of energy thanks to alternative energy. Let's get to know the organization that makes the wildest dreams of the royal family come true. The company was founded in 2018 and belongs to the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. She is developing a super resort on the Red Sea, which is one of several giant projects initiated in 2017 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The project is co-financed by the Public Investment Fund, which is intended to help implement the ambitious Vision 2030 program. The contractors have a sustainable approach to development. This principle is guided by everything from project planning and the materials that will be used in construction to tourism management. Not only does it not use harmful environmental media, but the Red Sea Project has an ambitious goal of improving the natural value of the region by 30%. In collaboration with the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, innovative marine spatial planning modeling has been developed using software specially created in the kingdom to assess the impact of economic activity on development and increasing biodiversity.
