Doyof Al Rahman Program

pro21

<h4>The Unification of Saudi Arabia’s Pilgrim Service Providers</h4>
Doyof Al Rahman Program 
Client : DARP 
Duration : 4 Months 
Industry : Tourism,

Empowering Doyof Ar-Rahman Program employees by enhancing their innovative and guest-centered initiatives capabilities.


The unification of the program’s departments and members using a three-day training bootcamp.


An increase in awareness among different sectors about the positive impact of the program and its needs through intensive workshops. This helped publish the initial version of the program’s tools and resulted in 170+ new initiative proposals.


The Saudi hospitality industry was one of the many sectors that took a hit in 2020 after the country halted all things travel and tourism. That may sound like an entirely bad situation, but there was still some benefit to it. The industry was given the opportunity to take a step back and reevaluate its operations.
Prior to the kingdom’s Vision 2030 economic diversification objectives, which included the expansion and reinforcement of tourism, the hospitality sector relied majorly on domestic tourism and pilgrimage to run. With millions of pilgrims annually showing up for Hajj alone, the country did not really need to diversify its tourism sector even after the Vision was declared, at least not in its western region.
Saudi Arabia may have even broken a record in 2019 when its Holy city of Makkah witnessed the arrival of over 2.5 million Hajj pilgrims. It is considered one of the world’s largest human gatherings, after 2012’s 3.16 million, of course. However, that number did not tide over into 2020, as the kingdom placed a 1,000-pilgrim cap for the year due to the unfortunate circumstances.
Nevertheless, that move gave the country the freedom to step things up and renew its hospitality efforts. More specifically, it set out to strengthen its Doyof Al Rahman (or “Guests of God”) Program (DARP) which was launched in 2018 as part of the Vision 2030 objective looking “to enhance the experience and the ability of Hajj and Umrah.”
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3091 size-large" src="https://admin-web.tam.run/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/darp-2nd-1024x571.png" alt="" width="580" height="323" srcset="https://core.tam.sa/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/darp-2nd-1024x571.png 1024w, https://core.tam.sa/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/darp-2nd-300x167.png 300w, https://core.tam.sa/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/darp-2nd-768x428.png 768w, https://core.tam.sa/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/darp-2nd-1536x857.png 1536w, https://core.tam.sa/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/darp-2nd-1200x669.png 1200w, https://core.tam.sa/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/darp-2nd.png 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" />
<h2>Hospitality for pilgrims</h2>
DARP’s main goal when working with TAM in 2020 was to empower its pilgrim service providers by developing and fortifying their innovation-based knowledge and infrastructure. This would unify the program’s departments and employees, allowing them to design, implement, and launch powerful guest-centered initiatives and services. With DARP&#8217;s green light, TAM began the process of blueprinting the Guest Centrality Methodology project.
The project consisted of six primary courses of action; the initial being an analysis of DARP’s guest-centrality experience adoption level. The analysis was made up of both secondary and field research performed through a collaborative effort between TAM and the program’s department representatives. The course’s interviews, surveys, past reports, and three workshops proved beneficial.
TAM’s team was able to gather enough information about the available skill gaps and stakeholders’ vision to move on to the project’s second round. This involved determining the areas in need of development by utilizing TAM’s very own capability maturity measurement tool.
The ensuing results eased the project’s next step which included identifying and developing the complete guest experience methodologies, tools, and guidelines. The initiative’s design methodology contained two essential elements; the compass and the map. They were created as detailed guides towards higher quality initiatives and services, keeping the designers prepared for any needs or challenges that may arise.
Now that the program had a clear and dynamic methodology to follow, as well as a toolkit made to support the design and launch of new initiatives, it was time to move to the succeeding stage. Stage four was all about developing a unified content and structure base for DARP’s forms, guidelines, and awareness campaigns. It included the building of the program’s designated “Memory Making” platform and ensuring it was filled to the brim with educational and awareness-based content. More specifically, 15 information-packed videos and 38 innovation-stimulating interactive tools were added.
Next, TAM designed a three-day bootcamp for the program’s employees. The bootcamp’s training consisted of an introduction to the compass and its basic components as well as its implementation, to guarantee its success and the employees’ ability to operate it. Fifty-two individuals from nine different DARP departments attended the daily training sessions that covered everything from the basics and foresight, to discovery, design, and initiation.
“It is rare for one to sit all hours in a seminar with enthusiasm. This is the first camp I have ever enjoyed the whole time.” &#8211; Bootcamp Attendee (Translated Quote)
Finally, the awareness segment came into play. TAM held 11 intensive workshops revolving around the prioritized paths of DARP to test the methodology and generate ideas for initiatives. The seminars saw the participation of 15 different sectors and 171 newly produced initiatives. Additionally, these interactive workshops contributed to building a positive image of the program while enhancing its role as a sector-based driver and catalyst.

Saudi Arabia Embraces Innovation and Progress with Game-Changing Tourism Accelerator Program. In 2019, Saudi Arabia made a bold move by opening its doors to international tourism, marking a new era of growth and opportunity for the kingdom. In alignment with the nation&#8217;s Vision 2030 National Tourism Strategy, ambitious goals were set, including attracting 100 million visits by 2030, contributing 10% to the GDP, and generating over 1 million new jobs in the tourism sector. To drive progress and facilitate transformative change, Saudi Arabia launched the Tourism Accelerator Program in August, which recently celebrated its successful conclusion, leaving a lasting impact on the burgeoning tourism industry. The Tourism Accelerator Program was meticulously designed to foster collaboration among major industry players and implement cutting-edge technological solutions. Over 10 innovative technologies have been introduced, and these trailblazing advancements are now being scaled up across the kingdom, solidifying Saudi Arabia&#8217;s position as a global contender in smart tourism. The core objectives of the Tourism Accelerator Program were to:- Devise a robust, long-term sustainability strategy
<ul>
<li>Create an agile operating model for rapid pilot launches</li>
<li>Collaborate with leading tourism entities to pilot groundbreaking tech solutions</li>
<li>Forge powerful partnerships and stimulate cooperation within the industry</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
The program&#8217;s remarkable outcomes have significantly bolstered Saudi Arabia&#8217;s tourism sector. These include sourcing over 600 solution providers, onboarding 130 organizations and industry leaders, and conducting 15 triumphant pilots in seamless experience and digital innovation. Additionally, the program produced 100MM potential business at an investment value of 350MM, facilitated 10+ MOUs, and forged 7+ strategic partnerships for the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA).The Tourism Accelerator Program&#8217;s landmark achievements also encompass organizing the first-ever Saudi event for the STA and participating in the inaugural Saudi Tourism Forum. Garnering a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 75, a participant satisfaction score of 83%, and a 90% partner commitment for the program&#8217;s second phase, the accelerator has set a new precedent in the tourism industry. The overarching vision behind the accelerator was to cultivate a culture of disruptive innovation, empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and bridge the digital competency gap within the tourism and hospitality sectors. By fostering a thriving ecosystem of innovators and trailblazers, the program has set the stage for Saudi Arabia to emerge as a leader in smart tourism and ensure the nation&#8217;s continued prosperity in this rapidly evolving industry.

The &#8220;Tourism Destinations Challenge&#8221; program was launched in 2022 under the patronage of the Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with TAM Company. This three-phase training camp was designed to deliver entrepreneurial and innovative solutions to tackle major challenges faced by the target destinations—Riyadh, Taif, and Al-Ahsa. The goal was to foster a community connecting investors, innovators, service providers, and entrepreneurs in the tourism sector, thereby supporting the growth and development of these destinations, attracting more investments, and aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

</ul>
The program concluded with a closing ceremony where financial grants were awarded to the nine winning projects that achieved the highest evaluations throughout the three phases.
