International tourists visiting Kingdom set to reach 70% of total
Saudi tourism is competing with itself, breaking its own records every year in both the number of local and international tourists and in tourism revenues. The number of tourists reached 115.9 million in 2024, with revenues estimated at SR283 billion ($75.5 billion). Both figures represent an unprecedented leap in Saudi travel history. Foreign tourists from outside the Kingdom reached 29.7 million, spending about SR169 billion ($45 billion). Between 2016 and 2024 the number of these tourists increased by 69 percent. Saudi Arabia plans to invest about $800 billion in tourism by 2030, aiming to host 150 million visitors over the next five years, with 70 percent of them being international tourists. Evidence of its rapid progress is seen in the International Air Transport Association's Air Connectivity Index, in which the Kingdom jumped from 27th to 13th place globally. Since 2021, Saudi Arabia has been implementing its Air Connectivity Program to link its cities with 250 destinations worldwide. Remarkably, the Kingdom's tourism journey spans less than five years, making its achievements nothing short of extraordinary. In this short time, Saudi Arabia has overtaken long-established Arab tourism leaders, notably Egypt with its ancient pharaonic heritage, iconic landmarks and decades of tourism expertise. In Fitch's 2023 global tourism revenue rankings, Egypt trailed behind the Saudi giant, despite the fact that Saudi tourist visas were only introduced in 2019. According to the Passport Index, Egypt allows citizens of 119 countries to enter with or without a visa, while Saudi Arabia extends such access to only 66 countries. Yet this significant gap in visa accessibility has not stopped the Kingdom from surpassing its neighbor. Madinah has been named one of the top 100 global tourist destinations, and the enchanting city of AlUla was the first tourist destination in the Middle East accredited by the National Destination scheme. All these achievements confirm the strength of Saudi Arabia in the tourism sector, especially compared with other Arab and Middle Eastern countries. In addition to the above, hosting the 2034 World Cup is expected to have a major impact on Saudi tourism, similar to Qatar's experience with the tournament in 2022. According to a Bloomberg report, Qatar's World Cup contributed to a 58 percent year-on-year increase in tourist numbers in the country in 2023, not to mention the astronomical numbers during the tournament itself. For this reason, Saudi Arabia is currently working on marketing its tourist destinations ahead of Expo 2030 and the World Cup. Evidence of this includes hosting the first Middle East office of the World Tourism Organization in Riyadh, and signing a deal with in 2024 to publicize Saudi destinations in the Chinese, Indian and European markets. A direct result of this was the arrival of 150,000 Chinese tourists that same year, with the number expected to increase to 5 million annually in the coming years. The Saudi Tourism Authority is making significant efforts in this regard, such as opening 16 offices in major cities like London, Paris, Beijing and Shanghai. It is also marketing Saudi tourism projects using the 'Saudi Spirit' branding which was displayed in a number of cities across the world, including on a large building in New York's Times Square. Bodies attempting to correct misconceptions about the Kingdom, especially among international tourists, include the efforts of the Public Prosecution and the Ministry of Health. The Public Prosecution, for example, has established a dedicated Tourism Prosecution Office at domestic and international airports, as well as at its main headquarters. This office assists travelers who encounter legal issues, ensuring their cases are processed swiftly — making them feel valued as guests in the Kingdom. The Ministry of Health has also introduced the Mawid app, allowing tourists to book appointments at the nearest healthcare center at minimal financial cost. Tourism accounts for 10 percent of the global economy — about $11 trillion — and a similar percentage of the world's workforce, or about 300 million jobs. Saudi Arabia needs to capture a larger share of the pie and aims to break the trillion-riyal revenue barrier. It has created 200,000 jobs so far, with a target of 800,000 by 2030, and I hope it will be possible to exceed 1 million jobs before this date. These are all achievable aspirations, as the Kingdom's vision, led by its architect Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, knows no 'impossible,' and can lead Saudis to a world of prominence in tourism and beyond. • Dr. Bader bin Saud is a columnist for Al-Riyadh newspaper, a media and knowledge management researcher, an expert and university professor in crowd management and strategic planning, and the former deputy commander of the special forces for Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia.

Indian PM Modi vows to protect farmers, pushes self-reliance amid Trump tariff tensions
NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the country on Friday to move toward more self-reliance, manufacture everything from fertilizers to jet engines and EV batteries, and vowed to protect farmers in the face of a trade conflict with Washington. Modi was addressing the nation on the occasion of its Independence Day at a time New Delhi has been struggling with US President Donald Trump's punishing tariffs imposed on Indian goods and the collapse of trade talks, largely due to differences over imports of American farm and dairy products. 'Farmers, fishermen, cattle rearers are our top priorities,' Modi said in his customary annual address from the ramparts of the Red Fort in New Delhi. 'Modi will stand like a wall against any policy that threatens their interests. India will never compromise when it comes to protecting the interests of our farmers,' he said. Modi did not mention the tariffs or the US in his speech that lasted nearly two hours. Last week, Trump imposed an additional 25 percent tariff on Indian goods, citing New Delhi's continued imports of Russian oil in a move that sharply escalated tensions between the two nations. The new import tax will raise duties on some Indian exports to as high as 50 percent – among the highest levied on any US trading partner. Modi has never spoken about the tariffs directly, only alluding to them in a speech last week, where he swore to protect the interests of farmers, even if it came at a personal price. The tariffs threaten to disrupt India's access to its largest export market, where shipments totaled nearly $87 billion in 2024, hitting sectors like textiles, footwear, gems and jewelry. Trade talks between New Delhi and Washington collapsed after five rounds of negotiations over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. On Thursday, the Indian foreign ministry said that it hoped relations with the United States would move forward based on mutual respect and shared interests, seeking to temper worries that ties were headed downhill.
