The Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH) launched on Monday the Holo Journey project, the first application in the world that integrates three innovative technology solutions, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

The project aims to bolster tourism and the Kingdom’s national heritage.

The SCTH’s launch of the application is an unprecedented global achievement in the field of digital transformation and confirms its role as a major player in global technology.

Commission Vice President for Support, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Al Al-Sheikh stressed that the achievement is in line with SCTH President Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz’s vision to remain abreast the latest technologies that serve Saudi Arabia’s tourism sector.

UniVista, a Chinese supplier of electronic design automation (EDA) tools for semiconductors, is offering free trials for its key software to Chinese firms, the company said in a WeChat post on Tuesday.

The move comes after the United States ordered a broad swathe of companies, including EDA software suppliers, to stop shipping goods to China without a licence and revoked licences already granted to certain suppliers.
