KSA Travellers Swap Long Breaks for High-Spend Getaways
Luxury wins Eid A growing number of Saudi residents chose short yet luxurious international holidays during the recent Eid Al Adha break, as data revealed a 25 percent rise in outbound travel from the Kingdom compared to last year. Visa's latest Travel Pulse report shows that nearly 7 in 10 KSA travellers preferred quick getaways over extended vacations, with shopping emerging as the dominant driver of spend. Retail focus abroad The UAE attracted the largest share of Saudi travellers, drawing 14 percent of all outbound tourists and accounting for nearly a quarter of the total international spending. Fashion and luxury brands dominated their purchases, with seven of the top ten merchants falling under the shopping and apparel category. Popular spending outlets included Dubai Duty Free, Cartier, and Hermes. On average, each Saudi visitor to the UAE spent $635 using Visa cards. Dining and entertainment were also major attractions, though shopping remained the focal point. Turkey came second as a preferred destination, capturing 9 percent of KSA travellers and 15 percent of overall holiday spend. Visitors to Turkey spent slightly more on average, with a per-card spend of $653. The UK, though attracting only 6 percent of travellers, recorded the highest average spend per card at $839, underscoring the country's strong appeal for high-end retail and luxury experiences. Pilgrim-driven growth at home While outbound travel surged, the Kingdom also welcomed a significant number of inbound visitors for the Hajj season. According to Visa, foreign pilgrim arrivals rose by 7 percent over the previous year, contributing to a 16 percent increase in spending inside Saudi Arabia. This growth was driven by everyday essentials. Food, medicine, and basic necessities formed the bulk of purchases by pilgrims, while spending on travel-related services and clothing remained relatively low. Overall in-Kingdom spending rose by 4 percent. Spending trends shift Ali Bailoun, Visa's Regional General Manager for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman, said having simple and secure payment options remains critical during religious and leisure travel alike. He added that Visa aims to support the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goals by offering reliable cross-border payment experiences that encourage both domestic and international travel activity. Planning for next time Visa also issued recommendations to help businesses tap into this evolving travel-spend behaviour. These include exclusive cardholder partnerships, early booking rewards, and strengthening local staycation offers. With consumer behaviour during Eid now showing a clear divide between indulgent foreign escapes and essential spending at home, the season is no longer just a time for reflection but also a key moment in the region's economic calendar.

Saudi Arabia Launches 1447 AH Umrah Season Plan To Enrich Pilgrims' Spiritual Journey
Saudi Arabia's Presidency for Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has officially launched its operational plan for the 1447 AH Umrah season, aiming to enhance the spiritual experience for millions of pilgrims and visitors. The plan, announced during a ceremony at the Presidency's headquarters in Mecca, is designed to provide a smooth and fulfilling religious journey for all. Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al Sudais, President of Religious Affairs, said the 1447 AH Umrah season will be guided by a service-centric approach, with the enrichment of spiritual and devotional experiences forming the plan's central objective. He emphasized the importance of strengthening cooperation between various government agencies and strategic partners to ensure unified and efficient implementation. The eight-month plan will unfold in three distinct phases, running until the end of Sha'ban 1447 AH, after which the separate Ramadan operational plan will take effect. On June 10, Saudi Arabia resumed issuing Umrah visas, followed by the start of Nusuk permit applications on June 11. The Ministry clarified key dates within the Umrah calendar: the deadline for approving contracts between Umrah companies and overseas agents is the first day of Sha'ban; the issuance of Umrah visas will cease on the first of Shawwal; and the final entry date for pilgrims will be the 15th of Shawwal. All pilgrims must depart the Kingdom by the first of Dhul Qi'dah.
