🧭 How EWN Built SIAVY — A Scalable Tourism Platform for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030

Introduction

Saudi Arabia’s tourism industry is transforming rapidly under Vision 2030, creating new opportunities for digital-first travel platforms. SIAVY emerged as one of the most promising startups in this space — envisioning a single, intuitive platform where travelers can explore, compare, and book authentic Saudi experiences.

EWN Bangladesh Limited was selected to bring this vision to life — designing and developing a high-performance, multilingual tourism platform tailored for local and international users.

The Challenge

Before SIAVY, travelers faced fragmented options for discovering tours and experiences across Saudi Arabia. Most platforms lacked Arabic support, transparent pricing, and seamless local payment options.

SIAVY aimed to solve these challenges by:

• Delivering a bilingual (Arabic–English) experience
• Supporting local and international payments
• Providing real-time booking and availability
• Empowering tour operators to manage listings, pricing, and packages directly

Building a system that achieved all these goals — while remaining fast, scalable, and user-friendly — required precise engineering and a deep understanding of the tourism domain.
