The hospitality industry in Saudi Arabia expanded dramatically in the past few years due to several noteworthy government initiatives to develop the hotel industry and increase the nation's total tourism targets. Saudi Arabia is the travel destination with the fastest growth rate in the world, according to the G20. The UNWTO reports that foreign visitor visits in the Kingdom rose by 125% to pre-pandemic levels last year, attracting around 94 million tourists and outpacing the global tourism industry's rebound.
Saudi Arabia plans to invest over USD 550 billion in new travel destinations in the coming six years, making it the world's largest investor in tourism. It is due to its efforts to grow its tourist and hospitality sectors. Saudi Arabia led the Arab ranks for inbound tourism in the first three quarters of the previous year, with about 20 million tourists visiting the Kingdom. With the recent approval of the legislation, the industry hopes to contribute 10% of GDP in the coming six years and reach the goal of 100 million annual tourist visits. Travel restrictions are lifted, and the door is opened for a flood of tourists into the Kingdom. It is due to the new visa regulations like e-visas and visas-on-arrival for visitors from 49 countries, further fueling the growth of the hospitality industry.
The hospitality sector is set up for faster expansion, and the area is currently at the top of the travel and hospitality world. In Saudi Arabia, Rotana is developing seven hotels, including five brand-new establishments in Riyadh that are now under negotiation. Over the next four years, these buildings will nearly quadruple the number of rooms the company operates in the Kingdom to 6,000.

Increase in Online Hotel Booking in Saudi Arabia
According to an Insight Out Consulting analysis, the Middle East tourism market is expected to grow by 40% in the coming two years, with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates leading the way. The value of online travel reservations in the Middle East rose by 100% in the current year compared to the previous year. This growth is attributed to several factors, including an increase in tech-savvy travelers, the use of customer-facing tech solutions like AI chatbots, mobile apps, and loyalty programs, and the integration of increasingly complex online back-end systems by travel suppliers, particularly hotels, such as booking engines and distribution channels. Half of all reservations made in the KSA and UAE are anticipated to be made online in the coming two years.
Furthermore, Saudi Arabia's high-end and mid-scale hotels play a significant role in the rapid rise of the financial community through online hotel booking. Travelers to Saudi Arabia, both local and foreign, are more likely than ever to book their lodging online, primarily for trips to Makkah, Medina, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. The Saudi Arabian government is committed to implementing Vision 2030 in order to raise the living standards of its citizens.
