The Spanish Minister of Industry, Tourism and Commerce, Reyes Maroto, participated in the vigésimo segunda edition of the cumbre of the Consejo Mundial de los Viajes y el Turismo (WTTC) which was carried out in Riyadh.

"There are many Spanish companies interested in Saudi Arabia", explained Maroto at the press while in Riyadh, whence he detailed that there are three large national hotel chains with a presence in this country (Barceló, Meliá and Palladium), but also Amadeus, who work with the Arab country on questions of air navigation, o Alquimia, who is working on the sustainability of the Saudi national parks.

Also, for example, Acciona o Cobra, who are helping to develop large construction projects, according to the detail of the minister, who, between the cases of five years, will soon leave her cargo to present herself as a candidate for the Alcaldía of Madrid.

"No hay duda -he said- that Saudi Arabia wants to have a partner as important as Spain to deploy its tourism boost plan", with that he wants 10% of its GDP in 2030 to come from tourism, in front of the 3 % actual, with projects that from the WTTC have been classified as "the most ambitious and futurists in the world" today.
