A high-ranking Saudi business delegation will visit Syria on April 23 to take part in a four-day tourism investment exhibition organized by the Syrian Tourism Ministry, according to Basil M. Al-Ghalayini, CEO of BMG Financial Advisors and chairman of the Saudi side in the Saudi-Syrian Business Council.


He said Syria has offered a number of tourist sites for foreign investments.

 

“The exhibition will be an opportunity to learn about details of these tourism projects and make initial investment proposals,” Al-Ghalayini said.

 

He commended Syria’s economic openness as it allows expatriates to have full ownership of their projects. “This is a good opportunity to invest in Syria,” he made clear, according to <i>Arab News</i>.

 

Arrangements have been made for the meeting of the Saudi delegation with Syrian officials including those in the Tourism Ministry.
