This partnership aims to digitize travel between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, streamlining processes and enhancing convenience for travelers.
Representatives from the Saudi Tourism Ministry, Meeshal Qureshi and Anas Jamaladeen, hailed the partnership as a milestone in promoting tourism beyond religious pilgrimage. They emphasized Bookme’s extensive user base and expertise in digital travel booking as pivotal in showcasing Saudi Arabia’s diverse tourism offerings.
The collaboration between Bookme and Mrsool marks a strategic alliance aimed at enhancing the customer experience by integrating ticketing and delivery services seamlessly. With Mrsool’s widespread presence and Bookme’s innovative solutions, customers can expect unparalleled convenience in accessing various services.
Furthermore, the partnership with the Saudi Tourism Ministry underscores Bookme’s commitment to fostering digital transformation in the travel industry. By digitizing travel processes, the initiative aims to unlock the full potential of tourism between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, paving the way for increased bilateral cooperation and cultural exchange.
