This aligns with Saudi Arabia's National Tourism Strategy, which aims to increase visitors to 150 million by 2030, expand the private sector's role, and attract foreign investments to boost economic growth and diversification.

Saudi Arabia's Minister of Tourism, Al-Khateeb, expressed confidence that the Kingdom will revolutionize the global tourism industry.

He highlighted the attractive investment opportunities and facilities provided by the country as part of its Vision 2030 plan.

The tourism sector's contribution to the local economy has already increased from 3% to 4.5% by the end of last year.

Al-Khateeb also emphasized the Middle East's potential as a major tourist destination due to its natural resources.

The text discusses the progress of countries in a region towards developing their tourism sectors.

The minister emphasized the importance of qualifying national workforce and attracting young people to the industry.

The Saudi Ministry of Tourism is particularly focused on this issue.

In April, the deputy minister announced that Saudi Arabia may adjust its goal of attracting 150 million visitors by 2030 if that number is reached earlier.

Mahmoud Abdulhadi, speaking at the Future Hospitality Summit in Riyadh, shared that his organization had achieved its goal of reaching 100 million riyals seven years early.

As a result, they have set a new goal, and if they exceed this target, their objectives will be adjusted again.
