Saudi Arabia possesses an abundance of natural features to propel the tourist sector, including mountains, azure waters, white sand beaches, deserts, stunning islands, historical sites, opulent resorts, and vibrant cities.
For a long time, Saudi Arabia has been perceived by the people of Bangladesh as the sacred land of Islam and a location where expatriates labor. Very few have really explored the nation beyond this notion. Because of this, the majority of people think Saudi Arabia is solely an oil-producing and arid country. However, the truth is that Saudi Arabia will rank among the top travel destinations for the ensuing ten years.
Reducing reliance on oil production is one of the main goals of the ambitious Vision 2030 initiative, spearheaded by the current Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. The establishment of a worldwide tourist sector is a component of that ambition. A few days ago, I traveled around Saudi Arabia's many regions and cities while renting a car. Having driven over 3,000 kilometers, I can confidently state that Saudi Arabia has a great chance to lead the world in tourism.
The nation offers everything needed to propel the tourist sector forward: tall mountains, azure waters, white sand beaches, deserts, stunning islands, historical sites, opulent resorts, and vibrant towns. The Saudi Arabian government has allocated a massive 800 billion USD budget to develop world-class infrastructure and make these locations more appealing. Yes, you are correct—800 billion US dollars!
As you can see, Saudi Arabia will grow in popularity as a travel destination during the next ten years. In addition, the difficulties of bringing in well-known football players and serving as the 2034 World Cup host also pertain to increasing Saudi Arabia's global profile.
Is Saudi Arabia becoming as contemporary as the West? No, in my opinion. Yes, Saudi Arabia is showcasing itself to the world.
However, this does not imply that they are adopting Western society in its entirety, as Dubai has. Compared to Dubai, Saudi Arabia has a very different international image. While upholding international norms, the nation preserves its own history, customs, and cultural heritage. That is what the world is witnessing, and it is praiseworthy. Instead of constructing something new there, they are demolishing their historical monuments and buildings and reconstructing the ancient ones to be seen by the public.
Nowadays, a lot of people are sick of seeing the same kinds of cities, infrastructure, and architecture in the West. Genuine vacationers seek out novel and distinctive experiences. Saudi Arabia is developing its tourist sector and bringing it up to par with the rest of the globe in response to this precise need. It is a fantastic tourist destination.
