Walid Khalil Calls for Tighter Oversight of Hajj and Umrah Brokers and Misleading Ads

Walid Khalil has stressed the need for tighter oversight of brokers and misleading advertisements related to Hajj and Umrah services.

Khalil, deputy head of the chamber’s religious tourism committee and head of its committee combating unlicensed entities, also highlighted demand for tourism-organised Hajj trips.

He said the figures clearly reflected the scale of interest in these trips. The available summary did not provide specific figures or a period for comparison.

His remarks addressed both demand for Hajj travel and scrutiny of those promoting pilgrimage services, with particular attention to brokers and misleading advertising.
