2023 Hajj & Umrah Expo: Mawasim unveils Umrah travel trends

Hajj and Umrah tour operator Mawasim, part of Almosafer – Seera Group’s travel platform, unveiled the new trends in Umrah travel at the 2023 Conference & Exhibition for Hajj and Umrah Services (Hajj Expo).

Hajj Expo, organised by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah is the largest conference and exhibition for Hajj and Umrah services.

In a Tuesday press statement, Mawasim forecast exceptional growth for the coming year, with pilgrim arrivals from focus markets including Egypt, Algeria, India, Turkey, Malaysia, Iraq and Jordan, in addition to Indonesia and Pakistan.

The company said that it recorded strong growth in Umrah bookings, with its new offices in Indonesia and Pakistan driving significant growth in pilgrim arrivals. The two countries are also the top international markets for Umrah bookings for Mawasim in 2022.

According to the press statement, Mawasim said that it reported strong growth in the last two quarters of 2022, despite the late start of Umrah, welcoming nearly 31,000 pilgrims from 43 countries and working with over 214 agents.

Pilgrims accounted for a total of 81,730 room nights across 114 hotels with the largest number of bookings coming from Pakistan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Singapore and Egypt.

With travel restrictions limiting Umrah arrivals from inbound markets during the pandemic, pilgrims have returned to make the most of their spiritual trips to Makkah and Madinah with group trips averaging 8 days and 40 passengers per booking.

Moreover, the company indicated that increase in Umrah travel follows recent reforms in Saudi Arabia permitting visitors to perform Umrah on any visa, in addition to general visa policies that have eased access to the Kingdom with residents of the GCC now being able to obtain a visa on arrival.

Mawasim’s successful integration of Maqam, the official global distribution platform of the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, has led to an increase in online adoption from its customers, with Mawasim’s online portal offering users a seamless experience.

The Maqam portal has generated demand for Mawasim’s ‘Umrah+’ packages, which provide pilgrims with an enhanced all-in-one trip combining Umrah and leisure. Umrah+ offers city tours of Makkah, Madinah and Taif, which are amongst the most popular activities. There is a growing appetite from pilgrims to explore such attractions in their Kingdom during their visit.

Mawasim is now also live on the Nusuk platform on both individual and business channels. Nusuk is the first-ever official planning, booking and experience platform, developed as part of the Pilgrimage Experience Program under Vision 2030, which creates an Umrah itinerary to Makkah, Madina, and beyond. Travellers from all over the world can easily organise their entire visit, from applying for an eVisa to booking hotels and flights.

Muzzammil Ahussain, EVP of Almosafer, said: “Hajj Expo 2023 is an excellent opportunity to connect with stakeholders in the industry and to work together to enhance the Hajj and Umrah travel experience. We are showcasing our track record in driving strong bookings from international markets by operating with our extensive network of agents. We look forward to strengthening our role as a strategic partner in enhancing bookings, and our latest data reveals that demand for Umrah travel continues to grow. We will continue to meet this demand by expanding our offering and leveraging our decades of experience to ensure that every pilgrim experiences an unforgettable journey.”

Data from Almosafer’s consumer segment, the Middle East’s leading travel brand, also highlights the growing demand for Umrah travel, with an increase in hotel and flight bookings for the cities of Makkah and Madinah on its platforms. GBV for these two cities has increased by 30% in 2022 compared to 2019.

2023 Hajj & Umrah Expo Conference to begin

The 2023 Hajj & Umrah Expo Conference is set to begin today.

The four-day event is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to enhance the religious and cultural experiences of pilgrims making the journey of Hajj and Umrah. Delegations from more than 50 countries are expected to participate in a number of keynote sessions as well as panel discussions and workshops. Proposals are expected to be submitted for infrastructure projects as well as plans to rehabilitate key sites and monuments.

The forum is part of the Saudi Vision 2030, a strategic framework, which aims to transform Saudi Arabia by focusing on three main themes: a vibrant society, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation. The conference is tied to the theme of developing a vibrant society, supporting efforts at increasing the number of Umrah visitors from 8 million to 30 million, as well as promoting other cultural opportunities in Saudi Arabia.

In the medium term, the conference will be important to the commitments of Saudi Vision 2030. The tourism sector will benefit greatly as well, as lessons learned from the Hajj & Umrah Expo Conference will be used to support the development of luxury hotels and other infrastructure via the Red Sea project. Riyadh hopes to achieve upwards of 100 million tourists annually by 2030.

First batch of China pilgrims land in Medina for 2024 Hajj

Smooth entry procedures offered to the pilgrims upon arrival

Cairo: The first group of Muslim pilgrims flying from China arrived this week in the Saudi holy city of Medina in the run-up to next month’s annual Hajj pilgrimage.

The pilgrims landed at the Prince Mohammed bin abdulaziz airport where their arrival procedures were handled smoothly, the Saudi news agency SPA reported. Their number was not given.

The Saudi Directorate of Passports has said it harnesses all its resources to facilitate the pilgrims’ entry to the kingdom at different air, land and sea points, using sophisticated equipment and well-qualified personnel.

The early groups of pilgrims started arriving in Saudi Arabia from several countries over the past few days ahead of Hajj, which is expected to commence this year on June 14, depending on the sighting of the new moon.

Hundreds of pilgrims initially land at Medina’s international airport where they are welcomed and offered commemorative gifts. Medina is home to the Prophet’s Mosque, Islam’s second holiest site.

More than 2 million Muslims from across the globe are projected to attend upcoming Hajj in and around the holy city of Mecca.

Saudi agencies engaged in preparing for Hajj works anticipate record numbers of pilgrims after around 30 million Muslims from inside and outside the kingdom undertook Umrah or minor pilgrimage in the Grand Mosque, Islam’s holiest site, in Mecca during the past Islamic sacred month of Ramadan.

Some 1.8 million Muslims from across the globe performed Hajj last year, marking the return of their numbers to pre-pandemic levels.

Hajj is one of Islam’s five obligatory duties. Muslims, who can physically and financially afford Hajj, have to perform it at least once in a lifetime.
