ANDREAS FLOUROU GROUP HEAD OF MOBILITY , RED SEA GLOBAL
Andreas Flourou has been with Red Sea Global since 2017 . Since then , he has taken two main roles – firstly , in leading corporate services , which meant setting up the business , IT admin and ordering HR functions , before moving seamlessly into overseeing mobility operations .
“ It ’ s an absolutely huge destination for us to develop ,” says Flourou . “ We have already opened two hotels and are well under way to opening further resorts this year and next , with construction actively progressing toward the completion of Shura Island . This is the culmination of Phase 1 , which will see 16 hotels . Outside of that , we have more projects in the pipeline , including AMAALA .”
There are thousands of people at The Red Sea site , building infrastructure and hotels .
“ We ’ ve had to build our own accommodation . Turtle Bay , where I am today , is a community of residential and office buildings , which ultimately will house 14,000 people working in our hotels ,” Flourou adds . “ Today we accommodate 15,000 construction workers here on site across Turtle Bay and an additional village for our contractors .”
Beyond the infrastructural and technological feats , RSG ’ s venture is a bedrock for societal impact .
The creation of a self-sufficient village not only addresses the accommodation needs of the workforce but also fosters a sense of community . Job creation , particularly in the local context , is a testament to RSG ’ s commitment to developing not just a destination but a sustainable ecosystem that benefits the region ’ s residents .
