Global Saudi Arabia Hotel Industry Overview
Due to a number of significant government efforts aimed at growing the hotel business and raising the country's overall tourist goals, the hospitality sector in Saudi Arabia has experienced a significant expansion in recent years. According to the G20, Saudi Arabia has the world's fastest-growing travel destination. According to the UNWTO, international visitor visits to the Kingdom increased by 125% to pre-pandemic levels last year, drawing almost 94 million visitors and surpassing the recovery of the worldwide tourism sector.
Over the next six years, Saudi Arabia intends to invest more than USD 550 billion in new vacation destinations, making it the largest tourism investor globally. Its endeavors to expand its tourism and hospitality industries are the reason behind this. With almost 20 million visitors over the first three quarters of the previous year, Saudi Arabia topped the Arab rankings for inbound tourism.

Travel restrictions are removed, allowing a plethora of tourists to enter the Kingdom. The new visa laws, such as e-visas and visas-on-arrival for travelers from 49 countries, are to blame for the expansion of the hotel sector.
Growth Drivers for the Saudi Arabia Hotel Market
The Saudi government's Vision 2030 initiative aims to diversify the economy and boost tourism
Saudi Arabia's strategic goal, Vision 2030, aims to improve the tourism industry and diversify the economy. The plan, which was introduced by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, focuses on developing a variety of industries, including tourism and hospitality, in order to lessen dependency on oil earnings. Large sums of money are being spent on the construction of new airports, transit systems, and tourism initiatives like the Red Sea Project and NEOM. In order to establish Saudi Arabia as a major travel destination and improve its overall economic situation, Vision 2030 aims to draw both domestic and foreign visitors by increasing cultural, recreational, and entertainment activities.
Increased International Tourism
The advent of new visa options, such as the e-visa, which makes entry easier for tourists, is a major factor in Saudi Arabia's increased foreign tourism. More tourists are now exploring the nation's rich culture and legacy as a result of its increased accessibility. To further attract tourists, Saudi Arabia is also sponsoring important events including athletic tournaments, concerts, and cultural festivals. These programs not only draw attention to the country's changing tourism sector but also foster a thriving social scene, making Saudi Arabia a desirable travel destination for tourists looking for unusual experiences and deep cultural interaction.

The Red Sea and new initiatives like NEOM boost travel and draw a variety of hotel construction across the country. An overview of the market by region is given below:
Makkah Hotel Market
Serving the millions of pilgrims that go to Makkah for the Hajj and Umrah, religious tourism is the main driver of the city's hotel industry. For the convenience of worshippers, the area offers a variety of high-end and low-cost hotels, with a notable concentration close to the Haram. The visitor experience is being improved by ongoing investments in hospitality services and infrastructure. During the Hajj season, demand is at its highest, so there must always be rooms available.

The market is expected to develop as a result of more pilgrims and more amenities.
Since Makkah is preparing for a new age in hospitality, Umm Al-Qura and GAA's joint efforts represent an important turning point.

While business districts draw corporate tourists, major regions like Olaya and Al Malaz are home to a large number of upscale properties.
