 Arsenale signe un accord avec Saudi Arabia Railways

 Arsenale, une société italienne active dans l'hôtellerie de luxe, et Saudi Arabia Railways, la
 compagnie nationale des chemins de fer d'Arabie saoudite, ont signé hier le protocole
 d'accord pour le développement du premier train de luxe du Royaume saoudien. L'accord,
 signé à Riyad, à l'occasion du Forum Saoudien du Tourisme, par Paul BarlettePDG d'Arsenale,
 e Bachar Al MalikPDG de SAR, fait partie du projet Rêve du désert, en réponse à la nouvelle
 tendance du tourisme lent et du voyage expérientiel, qui amènera un train de 40 cabines de
 luxe sur les chemins de fer saoudiens d'ici 2025 avec un voyage qui traversera le pays de la
 capitale Riyad à Qurayyat, dans le nord du pays et à la frontière avec la Jordanie. Le projet a
 une valeur de 51 millions de fabrication de trains et 10 millions d'investissements
 supplémentaires en Italie. "La signature de ce protocole d'accord entre la SAR et l'Arsenale
 doit être considérée comme un premier pas vers l'introduction d'une nouvelle offre sur le
 marché du tourisme avec une expérience de voyage de luxe en train", a commenté Al Malik.
 Trains construits en Italie Cet accord fait partie du plan d'expansion internationale d'Arsenale
 visant à construire la plus grande flotte de croisières de luxe sur rail. L'Italie, en particulier le
 Sud, est ainsi revenue à la production de trains, après le dernier construit en 1989 par Fiat
 Ferroviaria. Les six premiers trains verront environ 160 millions d'investissements dans la
 chaîne d'approvisionnement italienne. Le développement du plan conduira alors globalement
 à un impact sur le marché italien de plus de 500 millions au cours des 7 prochaines années.
 «Les voitures seront fabriquées dans le sud de l'Italie, ce qui entraînera la création d'emplois
 et relancera les entreprises lourdement grevées par le covid et par la faible activité de
 l'activité de fabrication ferroviaire italienne», commente Barletta. En savoir plus Le projet en
 Arabie Saoudite «Le partenariat italo-saoudien établit l'union des intentions des deux sociétés
 pour un projet innovant et révolutionnaire qui garantira à l'Arabie saoudite l'expansion de son
 offre touristique et confirme à quel point le tourisme de luxe dans le pays arabe regorge de
 nouvelles opportunités. Une nouvelle frontière du voyage dans un lieu où le chemin de fer a
 des origines anciennes et est présent depuis plus de cent ans» lit-on dans le communiqué de
 presse conjoint.
