Aseer Region Development Authority (ASDA) will join worldwide tourism leaders at ATM annual event in Dubai, to officially launch the new Aseer brand identity regionally, following a local launch and VIP ceremony held in Rijal Alma the previous week.

On 2nd May, His Royal Highness, Prince Turki Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz, launched the new brand identity as the first regional identity in the Kingdom at a spectacular event in the 900-year-old mountain village in front of over 400 esteemed guests from government entities and private sector as well as regional media and local residents.
The event was a key milestone for ASDA whose mandate is to transform Aseer into a global, year-round tourist destination with authenticity and natural beauty at its core.

‘ASEER TEHAWWEL – AWAKENING WONDER’ is inspired by the yet unexplored potential of the region and symbolizes the opening of a new chapter to establish a thriving tourism destination of the future.

The visual identity is reflective of the region’s diverse terrains – The Arabic calligraphy blends tradition with modernity symbolizing mountains, deserts, highlands, and valleys. The design also encapsulates the region’s unique architectural heritage and draws inspiration from the social diversity of its people. The colour palette resonates with the region’s natural beauty, traditions, and arts.

At ATM, senior ASDA delegates, including CEO Hashim Al Dabbagh and Chief Destination Marketing Officer Hatim Al Harbi will meet with public and private sector representatives from all sectors, including airlines, hospitality sector, tour operators, DMCs and other tourism organizations to share the new brand identity and vision for Aseer’s development in line with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030. Both leaders are looking forward to building and strengthening relationships with key trade stakeholders that will contribute to Aseer’s development and success.
