Saudi Arabia is making headlines with its ambitious $110 billion tourism investment in 2025. A cornerstone of its Vision 2030 plan to diversify the economy and position the Kingdom as a global tourism powerhouse. This massive investment aims to transform the nation’s hospitality landscape, attract millions of international visitors, and create a sustainable future beyond oil.
🏨 Hospitality Expansion: 362,000 New Hotel Rooms by 2030
As part of this investment, Saudi Arabia plans to develop 362,000 new hotel rooms by 2030, significantly boosting its accommodation capacity. This expansion is designed to cater to the anticipated influx of tourists and support major events like the World Expo 2030 and FIFA World Cup 2034, further solidifying the Kingdom’s status on the global stage.
🌍 Targeting 70 Million International Visitors Annually
The Kingdom’s goal is to welcome 70 million international visitors annually by 2030, up from 30 million in 2024.
