The Red Sea, Jeddah

Within an eight-hour flight of roughly 80 percent of the planet’s population is an archipelago of pristine beaches, dormant volcanos, sweeping desert dunes, mountain canyons, historical cultural sites and 90 pristine islands dotting the Red Sea. These largely untouched gems, collectively known as The Red Sea, a destination, surrounded by the world's fourth-largest barrier reef system.  

The area, covering more than 28,000 square kilometers, will soon be open to tourism in an exciting — and environmentally responsible — new way. Consider it sustainability 2.0: The Red Sea destination aims to have a positive impact on the environment, society, and the economy. This means that about 75 percent of the islands will remain untouched, and nine will be designated as special conservation zones. Furthermore, single-use plastics will be banned, an on-site nursery will provide more than 25 million plants, and the entire destination will operate with zero waste to the landfill and zero carbon footprint. Visitation to The Red Sea destination will be capped at one million per year to ensure environmental enhancement targets are met, to push beyond conservation and explore innovative ways to regenerate the natural ecosystem.   

In addition to its commitment to the planet, The Red Sea destination is committed to its guests, offering unprecedented accessibility, not to mention world-class dining, adventure, and entertainment. Prepare to explore the unimaginable.
