“We meet one year since we officially opened our Regional Office for the Middle East here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

“Directly after this Executive Council, I will have the pleasure of welcoming the new staff who will transform this office into a leading hub for tourism education.”

On the Regional office for the Middle East, the Secretary-General noted that It will be a dedicated global centre focused on tourism for rural development.

Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Tourism, Ahmed Al-Khateeb in his address underscored the importance of the power of tourism to drive economic development and also announced the Kingdom’s massive investments in the global tourism industry.

“Today, Saudi Arabia has emerged as one – if not the – largest investor globally in tourism. More than $800 billion has been allocated by the government for investment in the sector between now and the end of the decade. In the first quarter of this year alone, 90 hotels were opened in the kingdom. The equivalent of close to 22,000 key cards.

“By 2030, as we continue to work closely with operators such as Hilton, Accor, IHG, Shangri-La and Marriott, we will increase the number of hotel rooms in the kingdom by 900,000. 70 percent of which will be private sector funded. Our ambitions reach further still. 

“By 2030 we aim to welcome 100 million visitors a year and to create 1 million new jobs. People are at the heart of our tourism strategy. So I am delighted to announce today that we are allocating $100 million to train 100 thousand young people for new roles – at all levels – in tourism and hospitality,” the Minister revealed.
