Kanoo plans major Saudi expansion

Kanoo Travel is undergoing major expansion in Saudi Arabia with ten new offices across the Kingdom to cater to the boom in petrochemical and infrastructure projects.

Abdullah M. Abo Khamseen, executive general manager, Kanoo Travel said: “Saudi Arabia is a very important market for Kanoo Travel. Over the last few years our business has grown tremendously in the country and we want to ensure that we offer our customers best-in-class professional travel management services using the latest technology with the best customer service. The opening of our new offices across the country is another example of our commitment towards our ever increasing base of customers in the kingdom.”

Kanoo Travel has invested in three dedicated training centres in order to improve the level of service offered, and was also one of the first travel companies to introduce exclusive ‘ladies centres’.

Othman Al Ghamdi, general manager, Kanoo Travel, Saudi Arabia said: “Our ladies centres were appreciated for their high standards of service and well accepted by our retail and corporate clients. Kanoo Travel encourages local talent, be it male or female to join the travel industry by providing them with tools, training and encouragement to be leaders of tomorrow. Our motto is to offer international quality services with a local touch. Kanoo Travel not only offers corporate packages but has also been creating attractive leisure and holiday packages for local and expatriates living in Saudi.”
