The tourism sector in the Kingdom has high expectations for a big boost in the market next year, after the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (SCTA) approved provisions to issue tourism visas and regulate the system, in order to revive local tourism. If the proposals are finally approved, the SCTA would issue visas in coordination with the Ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs. The Kingdom has a tourism market in areas with a strong historical background, like Madain Saleh or Al-Ahsa’s ancient castles.
Although investors and businessmen in the tourism field are pushing for tourism visa, procedures for its issuance will be clarified by the SCTA in the coming weeks.
