The partnership was unveiled during WiT Singapore with the launch of the ‘Spectacular Saudi’ campaign, which uses immersive storytelling, curated experiences, and exclusive travel offers to boost inbound tourism from 11 Asian countries.

Expanding reach across Asia-Pacific

Running until 28 February 2026, the ‘Spectacular Saudi’ campaign targets travelers from Singapore, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Thailand. The STA will employ Agoda’s Media Solutions to reach active travelers through precision marketing across Agoda’s digital platforms and external media channels. The initiative aims to significantly increase awareness and travel demand for Saudi Arabia among Asian audiences.
