Dragonpass International (Dragonpass), the world’s leading provider of digital airport ecosystem platforms, is revolutionizing travel across the GCC region. With over 2.7 million customers in the GCC, the company has experienced a remarkable 100% year-over-year growth in users transitioning from traditional analog services to its digital platform.
This surge aligns perfectly with the GCC’s visionary development agendas, such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s Urban Plan 2040, which prioritize smart infrastructure, enhanced quality of life, and seamless urban mobility. These goals resonate deeply with Dragonpass’s mission to deliver frictionless, technology-driven travel experiences.
International tourism in the GCC is booming—Saudi Arabia welcomed 30 million visitors last year, while the UAE’s key airports recorded over 48 million international arrivals. As demand for seamless and value-packed travel experiences continues to escalate, Dragonpass is well-positioned to meet these evolving expectations with agility and innovation.
Dragonpass’s success is rooted in its flexible, partnership-driven approach. Rather than adopting a uniform model, the company collaborates closely with local partners to tailor solutions that reflect the unique cultural and consumer preferences of each Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market. This localized strategy has propelled Dragonpass to rapid growth and established it as a preferred platform for travelers and regional businesses aiming to enhance their travel services.
At the heart of Dragonpass’s offering is an advanced technology platform that consolidates travel services and loyalty benefits into a single, personalized user experience. Strategic alliances with leading Middle Eastern blue-chip companies enable Dragonpass to provide exclusive, convenient, and highly relevant benefits to its members.
Beyond traditional airport perks, Dragonpass now offers access to over 2,150 curated travel experiences, including Fast Track services and diverse dining options. Recently, the platform introduced a lifestyle module dedicated to wellness and fitness, granting members entry to more than 1,000 fitness and wellness centers across 50 major cities in over 25 countries—addressing the region’s growing demand for holistic, on-the-go wellbeing.
Andrew Harrison-Chinn, CMO of Dragonpass, stated, “The GCC is redefining the future of global travel, with innovation at the core of how experiences are delivered and valued. The GCC is a strategic growth market for us, home to highly discerning travelers who expect seamless, premium, and personalized journeys. By co-creating with forward-thinking partners and investing in technology-led solutions, we’re not just responding to regional demand — we’re helping shape a smarter, more elevated travel ecosystem across the region.”
