The International Umrah and Ziyarah Conference, organized by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is a key event in the religious tourism calendar. Held in the holy city of Madinah from April 22nd to 24th, this conference serves as a vital platform for globally recognized tour operators to establish partnerships and sign Umrah contract agreements with Saudi Umrah companies, under the auspices of Ministry representatives. The event attracts leading industry stakeholders and is instrumental in shaping the future of religious tourism in Saudi Arabia.
During this prestigious gathering, Libragold Groups, a prominent travel and tour company, was recognized with two distinguished awards. These accolades were bestowed upon Mrs. Zhikrah Afolake Akanbi, the Chief Executive Officer of Libragold Groups, in recognition of the company’s significant contributions to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through its role in facilitating Umrah and Hajj pilgrimages. The awards underscore Libragold Groups’ commitment to promoting religious tourism and its dedication to fostering a deeper connection between pilgrims and the holy sites in Saudi Arabia.
Libragold Groups has over the last two decades been a trusted partner for those seeking to undertake the sacred journeys of Umrah and Hajj. Its efforts in organizing and bringing groups to the Kingdom for these religious experiences have not only helped promote spiritual growth but also contributed to the economic development of Saudi Arabia. By facilitating these pilgrimages, Libragold Groups play a key role in supporting the local economy and showcasing the rich cultural and religious heritage of the nation.
These awards from the International Umrah and Ziyarah Conference are a testament to Libragold Groups’ unwavering dedication to providing quality service to its clients while holding the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in high regard. Mrs. Zhikrah Afolake Akanbi’s leadership and commitment to excellence have propelled the company to a prominent place among the international tour operators involved in Holy Pilgrimage to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, not limiting Pilgrims’ visit to the Holy cities of Madina and Makkah only, but extending to the cities of Jeddah, Taif, Dammam and Riyadh.
The recognition of Libragold Groups at this significant event reflects the company’s hard work and its vital role in building bridges between different cultures through religious tourism. The awards also signify a broader acknowledgement of the importance of international partnerships in promoting religious tourism and supporting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 for a thriving and vibrant tourism sector.
