Saudi Arabia's Tourism Deputy Minister Discusses Adjusting Visitor Targets and Sustainable Growth at Future Hospitality Summit

Saudi Arabia's Tourism Deputy Minister Discusses Adjusting Visitor Targets and Sustainable Growth at Future Hospitality Summit

Saudi Arabia's tourism ministry is open to revising its goal of attracting 150 million visitors by 2030 if the target is reached earlier.
Deputy Minister Mahmoud Abdulhadi stated that targets are adjusted based on performance, and if the current target of 100 million visitors is hit seven years ahead of schedule, a new target will be set.

Abdulhadi emphasized that this does not significantly impact the ministry's plans as they focus on ensuring the sector's sustainability and growth.

The text discusses the deputy minister, Abdulhadi, addressing the increase in tourist numbers, which will require adjustments to plans but not a change in delivery methods.

Modifications may include tactical priorities and timelines.

Abdulhadi also mentioned the ministry's role as a regulator, focusing on promoting investment and sustainability in the industry.

The deputy minister of tourism, Abdulhadi, explained that the ministry is implementing the national tourism strategy and targets by collaborating with other government ministries and regional development authorities.

As tourism affects various industries, it is essential to align efforts horizontally.

The ministry acts as a regulator, ensuring the correct development of tourism destinations with the right regulations and attractiveness to investors and visitors.

The text discusses the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Labor and Social Development's efforts to collaborate with the private sector to create one million new jobs in the sector.

The ministry is working with investors to bring in operators and is partnering with international operators and training providers to train over 100,000 Saudis annually.

Abdulhadi, the spokesperson, emphasized the importance of delivering high-quality products that align with the ministry's goals.

Over 1,200 global investors are anticipated to attend the Future Human Capital Summit (FHS).

A conference titled "Invest in Tomorrow: Today, Together" will take place at Al-Faisaliah Hotel.

The theme revolves around sustainable tourism and technology-driven hospitality.

Key industry figures are expected to attend and discuss topics such as sustainable development, investment opportunities, entrepreneurship, and human capital.

Insights into the growth of Saudi Arabia's hospitality and tourism sectors will also be shared.
