Bengaluru Qahwa Event Highlights Saudi Coffee Culture and Trade Opportunities

Saudi Tourism Authority (STA) presented “Brewtopia – A Qahwa Experience” in Bengaluru, aimed at strengthening ties with travel trade partners. Held at Olive Beach, the event attracted 30 industry professionals and showcased Saudi Arabia’s rich coffee heritage.
