SCTA President orders restructuring of Advisory Committee of Tour Operators
Almasalla Arab Travel Portal News – Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz, President of SCTA, has recently ordered the relevant department at SCTA to reshuffle the Advisory Committee of the Tour Operators in the Kingdom.
SCTA said the resolution that comes within its efforts to promote performance level of tour operators to enable them to carry out their role effectively in support of domestic tourism.
The committee aims to develop, promote and regulate tour operators’ activity, and ensure provision of high quality service in this sector, in addition to discussing sector’s problems, and its participation in the development of measures and procedures in tour operators’ licensing and follow up as well as evaluating their performance.
The committee also aims to promote citizens to utilize the opportunities allowed by tourism programs which saves tourist time, efforts and money through using tour operators in their visits to tourism locations and festive venues, which also will contribute to the diversification of tourism experience across different parts of the Kingdom.
SCTA on the other hand stated that, the committee will provide technical advice to tour operators, take part in gathering research and publishing information related to tour operators’ activity, in addition to setting measures and plans to stimulate the investors to engage in this activity and suggest incentives and means of support for the sector’s growth.
The committee reshuffling comes in context of SCTA’s attention towards persistent coordination and cooperation with all the relevant parties in each of the activities it observes, as SCTA is just as keen not given to enact rules and regulations without the participation of the stakeholders, whether they be individuals, public or the private sectors.
