A Hospitality and Tourism Sector Growing Rapidly With Domestic and International Tourism Expansion
The Kingdom's expanding domestic and international tourism under Vision 2030 has transformed the hospitality sector in the Eastern Province, from small local hotels to global hotel chains and major coastal resorts, and this growth comes alongside increasing complexity in hotel management contracts and tourism licensing requirements.
Hotel and Resort Management Contracts
We review and draft hotel and resort management contracts between owners and global hotel management companies, including management fee clauses, standardized operating requirements, and the mechanism for contract termination and management transition when wishing to change the operator.
Tourism Facility Licensing
We follow the complete tourism facility licensing procedure before the Saudi Tourism Authority, from hotels and furnished apartments to tourist resorts, procedures involving technical and safety requirements that vary by facility classification.
Booking and Cancellation Disputes
We handle booking and cancellation disputes with guests, a recurring matter for major hospitality facilities in the Eastern Province, particularly around refund policies during peak seasons and guest rights when a reservation is cancelled by the facility itself.
Supply Contracts for Hotel Restaurant Chains and Services
Major hotels rely on a wide network of food and service suppliers, and we help draft supply contracts clarifying quality standards and the mechanism for handling delayed or non-conforming supplies.
Liability for Guest Safety
We help hospitality facilities draft documented safety policies limiting legal liability when incidents occur on the premises, from pool and recreational facility injuries to food safety incidents.
Employment Contracts in the Hotel Sector
The hotel sector relies on intensive labor from multiple nationalities, and we help hotel owners draft employment contracts compliant with Saudi labor regulations, accounting for the specifics of shift systems and gratuities common in this sector.
Conference and Event Contracts at Major Hotels
Hotels hosting major conferences and events need separate contracts with organizers clarifying each party's obligations regarding halls, equipment, and catering, and we help draft fair cancellation clauses protecting the hotel from losing a booking without proper compensation.
