Tourism Seasons Hire

The Ajeer Tourism Seasons Service is an online collaboration between Ajeer platform and the Ministry of Tourism enabling tourism establishments (accommodation, travel, tourism) to contract seasonal Saudi workforce for peak periods via temporary contracts and permits without sponsorship transfer. Used for hotels, resorts, tour companies, and events during Hajj, Umrah, Riyadh, Jeddah seasons, focusing on Saudis for Vision 2030.

Process: tourism establishment registers as beneficiary, creates seasonal contract request specifying activity, duration (1-6 months), sites, manpower needs, searches/matches Saudis or advertises. Matching leads to seasonal Ajeer contract with work permit, fee payment (nominal/bundle-based), allowing Saudis to work legally. Service supports renewal/termination, activity tracking for compliance/Saudization, boosting tourism economy with local temporary labor.
