Saudi Arabia leads Middle East tourism destinations, guide says

Tour guide Turki Al-Bishri has declared Saudi Arabia as the leading tourism destination in the Middle East. His statement was made during an interview with Al Arabiya FM. The guide attributes this position to the country's Vision 2030 and ongoing infrastructure projects. Al-Bishri highlighted recent political developments and the growing tourism sector, suggesting that new destinations are emerging.

He emphasized that under Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia aims to make tourism its second-largest revenue source after oil. This includes the launch of major projects, extensive infrastructure development, and hosting international events like the Expo and the World Cup. The Saudi government is implementing a comprehensive plan, involving all ministries, to ensure the success of these initiatives.

The nation is rich in natural tourist attractions and boasts a robust tourism infrastructure, bolstered by security, stability, and government measures that promote investment in this sector.
