Kerten Hospitality, Royal Commission for AlUla
Located on a crossroads of civilisations, AlUla is an Oasis City on the incense trade route that’s been inhabited for thousands of years. With its labyrinth of tightly packed streets, vibrant date groves, sprawling moringa trees, hundreds of mudbrick buildings, and a colossal watchtower fort, AlUla’s Old Town is one of Saudi Arabia’s most impressive heritage sites.
AlUla isn’t just a location – it’s the cradle of narratives that span millennia. Dar Tantora The House Hotel lets you become a part of that story.
Each of 30 Dars is a haven of heritage, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of families that once called them home. Wander through the labyrinthine streets and discover a world where ancient mudbrick buildings tell stories of times when traders and poets roamed these lands.
COP 28
TGP International, Expo 2020
In our role, we catered to over 600,000 attendees at the recent UN Climate Change Conference, delivering menus that were two -thirds vegan and vegetarian across 136 F&B locations and curating an incredible collection of local and socially responsible food and beverage providers. Serving over 1 million meals throughout a diverse mix of outlets, including restaurants, food halls, carts, kiosks, and the world’s first vegan food truck park, we were privileged to offer both support and guidance to all our partners in adherence with Expo City Dubai’s (ECD) high sustainability standards and a low 1.5 ° C degrees carbon footprint threshold across all menus. Underpinning our strategy was our commitment to TGP’s Inclusive Hospitality initiative, with the event’s momentum and calibre providing the perfect opportunity to bring together distinguished industry leaders and create a platform for using F&B and Hospitality as vehicle for making tangible progress on many of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
