Motivated by unmatched quality, the leadership of Cool Inc garners and builds solid partnerships with global tastemakers, acclaimed brands and the masterminds creating them to bring new experiences to Saudi Arabia. Sinan Al Saady, Founder & Group CEO of Cool Inc expresses his thoughts on the launch of Cool Inc’s first vertical. ‘’In the pre-pandemic era, residents of the Kingdom spent roughly $22 billion a year in overseas travel for leisure, recreation, and tourism purposes. Keeping the current international climate and the welfare of Saudis at the forefront, we at Cool Inc believe in the success that these brands will bring by introducing favourite, globally acclaimed restaurants to both residents and visitors. The Launch of Cool Inc coupled with world-renowned F&B brands is set to transport the taste of the world to over 36 million residents across the Kingdom, and further fast-track the country’s status on the map for its innovative gastronomy’’ commented Al Saady.
‘’The spending on F&B restaurants and services in Saudi Arabia is set to see an increase of 6% per annum in this decade, with the hospitality industry contributing to the GDP of the Kingdom at an approximate of 10%, which is a substantial indicator of the significance and demand by residents and visitors for unique dining experiences. We believe in the success of these globally accredited brands that we are set to introduce, and in the fact that they will support the shift of the economy and lifestyle of the Kingdom’’- commented Olivier Flamant, CEO of the Destination Dining & Members’ Clubs vertical at Cool Inc. ‘With the launch of our first vertical, we are setting the tone for what Cool Inc will bring to the Kingdom. This is just the beginning of Cool Inc’s journey of bringing cool to the Kingdom’’, he added.
