Saudi Tourism Minister: Events to Draw Many Tourists
Saudi Tourism Minister Ahmed Al-Khateeb anticipated a significant increase in the number of tourists to the kingdom, especially with the hosting of major events like Expo 2030 in Riyadh and the 2034 World Cup. He explained that the tourism sector's contribution to the gross domestic product has risen to 5%, and that the sector now employs over one million people. Efforts are also underway to expand airports, particularly King Salman Airport, which can accommodate 120 million travelers. Additionally, the "TOURISE 2027" forum was launched with the aim of building global alliances that connect tourism with investment and technology, to promote sustainable growth in the sector. Saudi Arabia aims to reach 150 million visitors annually by 2030, having already welcomed 100 million in 2023—surpassing the target set seven years earlier.
