MIAMI, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Child: Travel & Purpose, the internationally acclaimed travel series hosted by Augusto Valverde, proudly announces that its founder was invited as a guest to the breathtaking Aseer Region of Saudi Arabia, known as the "Kingdom of Hospitality."

Valverde, who has been visiting Saudi Arabia for the past five years, was extended a personal invitation by His Royal Highness Prince Turki bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, governor of the Aseer Region, to join him and a delegation of local leaders in experiencing the natural beauty and cultural treasures of the Aseer Mountains.

Inspirational Leadership

"I've been visiting Riyadh for the last five years, and my dear friend, one of the top businessmen in the Kingdom, Fahad Abunayyan — who I first met at the Future Investment Initiative — told me he had a surprise for me. We had been invited as guests by His Royal Highness Prince Turki bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, governor of the Aseer Region, to experience the beauty of the Aseer Mountains with him and a delegation of local leaders. It was an eye-opening trip in the best of ways. The Aseer Region is a jewel of culture and natural beauty, and I am deeply grateful for the honor of experiencing it firsthand. I've never met a more hardworking, visionary, and inspirational leader than His Royal Highness Prince Turki," said Augusto Valverde.

The Aseer Region, renowned for its dramatic mountain ranges, UNESCO-recognized heritage villages, and extraordinary hospitality, is one of Saudi Arabia's most promising tourism destinations under Vision 2030.

"The Aseer Region embodies the spirit of connection and shared humanity that we champion at Global Child. I want the world to know about the stunning mountains — the views remind me of the Hollywood Hills — the refreshing climate all year round, and the epic developments that are already in the works. As one of the host cities for the World Cup coming to Saudi Arabia, the future couldn't be brighter. It's Saudi Arabia like the world has never seen before," added Valverde.

This visit marks an important moment of cultural exchange, as Valverde — whose show has generated more than 650 million global impressions and $15M+ USD of media exposure in the past year and a half — continues to spotlight destinations that embody purpose, connection, and inspiration for worldwide audiences.
