THE RED SEA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
“ The advantage is there is no existing development or having to work within an established infrastructure . We ’ ve created the infrastructure and ecosystem , so we can control our destiny ”
IAN WILLIAMSON CHIEF PROJECT AND DELIVERY OFFICER , THE RED SEA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
Last October , as it started getting on top of phase 1 , TRSDC said it was ready to take on new projects .
That lead to it securing the AMAALA project , 300km up the coastline , as well as around 12 other potential projects in the pipeline that are coastal or island-based , many of which are targeting a different audience – domestic travellers – in contrast to the global appeal of The Red Sea Project . The first phase , Triple Bay , spans 11km and it has a mountain range unusually sited by the coast . The three unique bays owe their existence to water run-off from the mountains . The nine hotels will target ultra luxury travellers , but with more focus on wellness , arts and culture , whereas Red Sea Project is more island based and about its natural attractions .
