Al-Khatib: Saudi tourism to grow
Tourism data from the Ministry of Tourism shows that the tourism sector in the kingdom experienced a limited decline of between 5% and 6% during the first five months of 2026, despite regional challenges such as the war with Iran and rising travel costs. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries successfully achieved a swift recovery, with airlines operating at full capacity once again. Domestic tourism performed better than last year, with occupancy rates increasing in Red Sea resorts during the holidays. The sector is expected to see accelerated growth in the coming years, supported by tourism projects and investments in infrastructure.
