Amidst Vision 2030's ambitious goals to elevate tourism to a core economic sector, travel in Saudi Arabia is projected to see strong development and growth across categories in 2024. Strategic infrastructure investments, including the launch of Riyadh Air, and the expansion of international and domestic routes, support the strong development of the industry in Saudi Arabia.
With the ongoing expansion of domestic and international routes and growing passenger numbers, airlines in Saudi Arabia is experiencing fast growth in terms of current value sales and number of people. Low cost carriers like Flynas are leading this expansion, in alignment with Vision 2030.
Lodging in Saudi Arabia continues to enjoy fast growth in current value sales, outlet numbers and room nights in 2024, driven mainly by religious tourism and extended stays. However, while much of the growth in lodging can be attributed to higher numbers of religious tourists in the post-Coronavirus (COVID-19) period, supported by the offer of long-term visas for Mecca and Medina, the category benefits from Saudi Arabia’s diversifying tourism offer.
Offline and online travel players in Saudi Arabia are engaged in heightened competition as air travel, corporate bookings and package holidays become increasingly popular. As Vision 2030 propels the industry forward, travel intermediaries are expanding their reach and services, especially due to the growing presence of multinational corporations.
Saudi Arabia’s tourism offer is expected to continue to evolve beyond its traditional focus and reliance on religious tourism. Efforts to diversify the tourism offer encompass luxury, culture, MICE and experiential activities.
