More than 40,000 pilgrims are expected to benefit from the low-cost Haj scheme this year, said Abdul Hameed Al-Sinani, secretary general of the Coordination Council for Domestic Haj Service Firms.
Speaking to Arab News, Al-Sinani said 53 companies and establishments have been authorized to provide low-cost services to eligible pilgrims for SR2,500 to SR5,000.
鈥淎bout a third of the total domestic pilgrims are accounted for this low-cost service. The program, which is introduced by the ministry, will be a great relief for a good number of citizens and expatriates,鈥 he said.
Other domestic Haj operating companies have been striving to scale down the cost of Haj, but can only slash prices to a certain extent since factors, such as rising air fare and road transport costs, food supply contracts and rising labor charges, are beyond their control.
鈥淭he cost of renting out tents, furnishing tents and making additional modifications on them have also risen considerably,鈥 Al-Sinan added.
Such factors have made it difficult for the council to force companies to bring down their charges despite demands on companies not to hike prices unreasonably.
鈥淭he council did not directly force or interfere in the pricing policies exercised in domestic pilgrim companies. It is, nevertheless, the council鈥檚 duty to advise them to keep their prices affordable,鈥 said Al-Sinani, adding that he found that companies were cooperative and have slashed prices from last year鈥檚 higher tariffs.
Saad Al-Qurashi, owner of several domestic Haj companies, reiterated that the coordination council does not have the authority to set tariffs of private companies. 鈥淭he council should uphold its fundamental roles and represent us effectively so we remain reassured,鈥 he added.
