John Pagano: The CEO trying to grow Saudi tourism

We meet the real estate developer who’s been tasked with turning Saudi Arabia into a global tourism hub.

It is part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s vision for the Kingdom, diversifying the economy away from oil.

Red Sea Global CEO John Pagano has managed massive development projects including London's Canary Wharf, a luxury holiday resort in the Bahamas, and now, a tourism mega project on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Coast. We hear about his career to date and why he likes an ambitious project. This is his biggest yet - can he pull it off?
