Haj operators must adhere to contracts signed with pilgrims. The quality of services must be upheld as promised and agreed upon in the contract, as negligence towards pilgrims contradicts the values and the approach of the country, the Authority stressed.

The Authority also called on operators to innovate their services to attract pilgrims to join Haj.
