Riyadh Ministry of Tourism Cranks Up Inspections in Makkah for Hajj Season
In a bid to elevate the quality of services provided to pilgrims during this year’s Hajj season, the Ministry of Tourism has ramped up its monitoring and inspection of various tourist hospitality facilities in Makkah, including hotels and serviced apartments.
Under the guidance and supervision of Minister of Tourism Ahmed Al-Khateeb, the ministry’s oversight teams have already conducted over 4,500 inspection tours of hospitality facilities in Makkah, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency.
During these rigorous inspections, a whopping 4,700 violations were identified, with most stemming from low cleanliness and maintenance standards, as well as activities being carried out without the necessary licenses.
The inspection tours are a crucial component of the ministry’s proactive efforts to ensure top-notch services and facilities for pilgrims embarking on the Hajj pilgrimage.
To further enhance the pilgrim experience, the ministry is urging pilgrims to share inquiries and feedback about the services through its official social media channels or by contacting the unified center at 930.
