Award-winning South African manufacturer Canvas and Tent has announced the launch of its prominent Bushtec brand in the GCC region.
Bushtec is a world leader in luxury tented accommodation, renowned for its commitment to quality, sustainability and innovative design. With a 55-year heritage and a belief in the value of experience, Bushtec’s purpose is to enable hospitality businesses to connect their guests to once-in-a-lifetime moments.
The launch will officially take place at the Hotel & Hospitality Expo in Riyadh and will feature the grand unveiling of Bushtec’s brand-new Falcon Tent.
Driving sustainability in a growing market
The launch of Bushtec Saudi Arabia marks a strategic move to meet the growing appetite for luxury and eco-conscious travel solutions. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, Bushtec aims to advance regenerative tourism, supporting Vision 2030’s ambitions for economic, social, and cultural diversification.
“Saudi Arabia is a key market for us, and aligning with it supports our vision to redefine luxury travel,” says Hans Hillebrand, CEO of Bushtec. “This expansion is not just about entering a new market—it’s about bringing our legacy and expertise to a region rich in potential.”
Partnering for excellence
Bushtec’s offering will be supported by a collaboration with Watad and Bespoke Modular Solutions (BMS), which combines global innovation with local expertise. Watad delivers superior civil works and alternative nontraditional builds, while BMS will bring bespoke elegance to the brand’s tent interiors.
Through this approach, Bushtec aims to strengthen its local presence, gain valuable regional insights, and secure a dedicated business and technical team to implement products on the ground.
“Our partnerships are designed to fuse South African ingenuity with the distinctiveness of Saudi Arabia hospitality,” adds Hillebrand.
