Kuwait is one of the important countries in the Gulf region both in terms of economy and tourism. It is situated at a vantage point covered on one side by sea and land on the other. Kuwait is also the hub for oil exploration and refining; not to mention the power they have in the world trade because of their control over oil. Top businesses have their presence in Kuwait and now many tech-driven firms like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are setting up data centers and offices here.

Kuwait has realized that they can no longer rely on oils because of pressure from climate change and emission. So they need something solid enough to steer their economy forward. IT services and tech startups are what they can depend on now. These industries are doing well in many countries and are contributing a handsome share to the country’s economy. On-demand taxi booking, food delivery, space rental, and many others are tech startups that are suitable in all regions. Realizing this, the Kuwait government is ramping up the process of making their country a hub for startups.

What Kuwait is doing for startups?

There are many accelerator programs and mentorships being launched across Kuwait to help startups. Apart from it, Faster Capital, a firm with a top network of entrepreneurs, VC, and investors are looking to incubate fresh startups with exciting ideas.

The Kuwait govt is also making the process of launching startups easy using a single-window clearance. Various incentives like subsidized office space, tax breaks are given. In order to make data storage affordable, the govt is bringing cloud data centers by tieing up with top MNCs.

Tourism and hotel booking startup idea

Tourism is one sector in Kuwait that is holding strong even though other sectors are struggling. In 2018 alone, 700 million tourists visited Kuwait; also a sizable population of Kuwait are ex-pats from different countries. Tourism contributes around 5 billion Kuwait dollars to the country’s GDP.

With more and more MNCs and startups coming to Kuwait, we can also observe an increase in corporate travelers visiting this region. So, it will be a good idea to launch a startup that harnesses the potential of tourism and travel.

Immediately the on-demand hotel/room booking startup comes to my mind. Some of the top startups in this area are Airbnb and OYO. Kuwait doesn’t have any startups like this and it would be a great start for you to select this idea.

Launching a startup using this idea not only satisfies you but also fulfills the desires of Kuwait govt.; more jobs are created and people with extra space in homes can earn passive income, and many more like this. 

This is how your new on-demand hotel booking startup must work:
