The Red Sea Earns the World’s First Destination-wide Verification with Forbes Travel Guide

The Red Sea has become the first destination in the world to achieve a destination-wide verification from Forbes Travel Guide (FTG).

 

The unprecedented achievement comes following a year of continual testing and improvement of hospitality standards at The Red Sea.

 

This included partnering with FTG to define service standards across five touch points – booking, land transfer, marine transfer, air transfer, and experiences – and conduct in-depth training for frontline staff and leadership.

 

Following a series of mystery shopping audits conducted by FTG, The Red Sea successfully became a Verified Destination.
