Strengthening International Coordination in Hajj Services

Participants will discuss operational requirements and organizational arrangements related to travel, arrivals, transportation, accommodation, hospitality, and other essential pilgrimage services.
These discussions are intended to help Hajj affairs offices coordinate their needs with the relevant authorities and service providers before the upcoming season.
Connecting Hajj Delegations with Service Providers
The forum encourages cooperation between Hajj affairs offices and organizations responsible for delivering transport, accommodation, logistics, technology, and on-site services.
Direct engagement enables participating delegations to communicate their operational requirements, review available solutions, and identify opportunities for improved service coordination.
This approach supports clearer responsibilities, more efficient information exchange, and stronger working relationships across the Hajj ecosystem.
