🏖️Tourism in Saudi Arabia is a topic that interests me since as early as 2006. 📺 A 5-minute TV segment can barely scratch the surface, but here are some of the key points I highlighted (Asharq Business اقتصاد الشرق with Maya Hojeij): ✨ Saudi Arabia has surpassed expectations and made incredible strides in the tourism sector in a remarkably short period of time. 🏗️ Building destinations from scratch and enhancing tourism infrastructure with focused efforts and substantial investments by the government have been fundamental to this success. 🎉 Events, events, and more events! Over 700 events in just one year—making every corner of the Kingdom vibrant and alive. 🏝️🏖️ 3S Tourism (Sun, Sand, and Sea) is abundant in Saudi, with pristine beaches and stunning landscapes. 🛍 🛒 Shopping tourism (4th S) may soon follow as malls and retail hubs emerge as future attractions. 📢 Marketing, public media, and image management are crucial elements that have helped to reposition Saudi Arabia as a top destination. 🌆 Mega projects are the new destinations: from NEOM to The Red Sea Project, they are reshaping the region’s tourism landscape. 🏰 Heritage-led projects like Diriyah Gate beautifully merge the past and the future, preserving history while creating new experiences. 💡 Technology is the backbone of entertainment—a sector brimming with potential in Saudi Arabia’s new vision for tourism. 🌍 The challenge and the opportunity are one and the same: to attract visitors in a sustainable way, ensuring long-term growth and balance. #SaudiArabia #Tourism #MegaProjects #Heritage #Sustainability #FutureVision #Events #Travel #Innovation ✈️🌟
