Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer of The Red Sea and AMAALA, has announced that The Red Sea has become the first destination globally to receive destination-wide verification from Forbes Travel Guide (FTG).
The milestone follows a year-long process of refining and elevating hospitality standards across the destination. In collaboration with FTG, The Red Sea introduced clearly defined service standards across five core touchpoints — booking, land, marine and air transfers, as well as guest experiences — supported by extensive training for both frontline staff and senior leadership. After completing multiple mystery inspections carried out by FTG, the destination was officially recognised as a Verified Destination.
