Saudi Arabia ranks among the top three globally in post-pandemic tourism, with arrivals increasing by 61 percent compared to pre-pandemic levels. The Middle East, led by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, has recorded the strongest growth globally, with international tourism recovering 98 percent of its pre-pandemic activity. Saudi Arabia's tourism sector is central to its broader strategy to diversify the economy away from oil dependence. The country aims to raise tourism's contribution to the national gross domestic product from 3 percent to 10 percent by the end of the decade. As global tourism recovers, Saudi Arabia continues to solidify its position as a leading global travel destination.
