Spinning up
Hospitality and tourism marketing in 2026 split between two distinct motions: B2C consumer acquisition (hotels, experiences, F&B) and B2B vendor sales into giga-projects (Red Sea Global, NEOM, Saudi Vision 2030). The B2C motion is creative-volume-heavy. The B2B motion is GEO + named-account outbound running across multi-month procurement cycles. Xpand Media runs both for hospitality clients in MENA, with native EN + AR + (frequently) CN, RU, JP content layers.
