Bin Mahfouz said: “The KSA’s tourism industry continues to achieve year-on-year growth and we see a tremendous potential in the tourism and hospitality sectors in the near future. The Elaf Group strongly support this robust growth through its innovative strategies such as food festivals to ensure that both industries position themselves as key contributors to the country’s non-oil economy.
The Indian Food Festival 2017 was in line with our efforts to showcase our commitment to offer unique yet authentic Indian cuisine with the Elaf Group’s professional touch, reinforcing the company’s leading role in Saudi Arabia’s booming tourism and hospitality sectors.”

Lastly, we are thankful to our chefs and their team at the Elaf Jeddah Hotel Red Sea Mall for preparing a gastronomic menu which was highly appreciated by our guests. We promise to continue with this tradition in the coming years and look forward to organise food festivals from other countries too,” concluded Bakri.
