“Saudi is a big market with huge potential,” said Pawan Kumar Verma, owner of 17 Nakshtra Art Works, a manufacturer showcasing decorative hospitality products. “We’ve already received some inquiries and are definitely participating in the Jeddah show.”
Yash Nagpal, who runs a luxury mirror manufacturing company, also sees alignment with Saudi Arabia’s upscale hospitality vision:

Under the Vision 2030 transformation plan, Saudi Arabia is aiming to diversify its economy and turn tourism into the second-largest sector after oil. According to Knight Frank, the Kingdom plans to build over 58,000 new hotel rooms in the next five years, many of them targeting luxury and upper-upscale segments.
