Jeddah Hotels Earn 20M Riyals from Gulf 27 Delegates

Six hotels in Jeddah achieved revenues of approximately 20 million Saudi Riyals during the hosting of delegations participating in the Gulf 27 Championship, which lasted for 14 days. The revenues included accommodation costs and the three meals provided to the delegations, with an average room rate of around 1,500 Riyals per day, encompassing meals and associated services. The hotels—ranging from those overlooking the Red Sea to properties situated in vital areas of the city—accommodated a total of 792 rooms to host teams from eight countries, in addition to union officials, the organizing committee, and media personnel. They also offered facilities such as gyms and meeting rooms. The actual attendance of fans inside the hotels and stadiums exceeded expectations, with activities concentrated in the Historic Jeddah district and the Corniche, leading to a rise of up to 50% in sales at shops and restaurants. The hotels played a key role in the tournament organization, as their accommodation, meals, and transportation programs were linked to the event’s activities, resulting in a noticeable boost in the economic performance of the hotel sector during the event period.
