KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 (Bernama) -- The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman has named Jerry Inzerillo as first chief executive officer (CEO) of Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA).
The Crown Prince who is also chairman of DGDA appointed Inzerillo to restore Diriyah by developing a number of major new historical and tourism assets in a 7.1 million square meter development on the west side of Riyadh.
Inzerillo was the former CEO of Forbes Travel Guide -- a global standard for the verification of service excellence in hospitality which operates in more than 100 countries, a statement said.
The new historical and tourism assets includes museums, academic institutions and ‘edutainment´ facilities, resorts, restaurants, wellness facilities and high-end retail.
The initiative is the Crown Prince´s 2030 Vision to modernise the Saudi state, engage Saudi citizens and welcome guests from all over the world.
Diriyah -- a UNESCO registered site, holds a historical depth of more than 590 years -- is also the birthplace of the first, second and current Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as the root of the Saudi nation.
Much of the original site was built in adobe brick in the traditional architecture of the greater Najd region which will be authentically restored with new tourism attractions and facilities.
