Saudi Arabia sees major tourism labor gains
Saudi Arabia recorded the second-largest global improvement since 2019 in the Human Resources and Labor Market indices in the tourism sector, according to the World Economic Forum. This progress is driven by skill development programs and expanded employment opportunities. The number of tourism jobs in the kingdom is expected to reach approximately one million and three thousand by 2025, with the female workforce in the sector rising to 47% compared to just 5% in 2018. As the sector expands in line with Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia faces challenges in training the workforce to meet the increasing demand. This requires effective training strategies, capacity building, and leadership development to ensure sustained growth and quality service. The study also highlighted that investing in human resources is a crucial element for maintaining the sector’s competitiveness, which is projected to face a global employment gap of 16% by 2035. Saudi Arabia advanced three ranks in the global index compared to 2024, although continuous enhancement of skills and expertise remains necessary to support sustainable growth.
