The new digital platform DIYYAFAH brings together, for the first time, the diverse players of Saudi Arabia’s tourism sector on a common stage. It is a joint project of the tourism communication and marketing agency KLEBER GROUP and the tour operator and market expert DISCOVERY GROUP.
Zurich / Berlin, September 24, 2025 – With DIYYAFAH, the Saudi Arabian tourism sector gains a central digital B2B platform where tourism players such as hotels, airlines, and cruise companies can present themselves together in order to strengthen their international presence, encourage new collaborations, and make market access clearer and more efficient.
The name DIYYAFAH derives from the Arabic term Ḍiyāfah – an expression for hospitality that is deeply rooted in Saudi Arabian culture. On this basis, the platform specifically promotes collaboration within the industry and supports its growth in the international market.
DIYYAFAH was developed in collaboration between the KLEBER GROUP and the DISCOVERY GROUP. The KLEBER GROUP is an international, integrated marketing and communications agency with over three decades of expertise in tourism, lifestyle, and luxury. Dr. David de Bjaouix, CEO and founder of the DISCOVERY GROUP, has maintained close relations with Saudi Arabia for over 25 years and is a recognized expert on the country.
“ With DIYYAFAH, we are creating, for the first time, a joint, clear, and professional digital stage for providers from across the Kingdom,” explains Julia Kleber, CEO of the KLEBER GROUP.
“DIYYAFAH makes the unique diversity of providers in Saudi tourism visible at a glance. We want to bring these many players together, foster exchange, and create more visibility,” summarizes Dr. David de Bjaouix, CEO and founder of the DISCOVERY GROUP.
The launch of the platform took place during the Saudi National Day celebrations of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the evening of September 23, 2025, at The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin.
