50 Billions Spent on International Travel and Tourism

The state of domestic tourism is again the highlight of a recent article in Arabnews.com.

We “proudly” spend more than SR50 billion annually traveling abroad. I think inside every one of us is a Sinbad who lives for travel and tourism. For all our love for travel and tourism, we are still not attracted to domestic tourism. Even the most conservative Saudis prefer to travel abroad.

It is not only liberal families who prefer to go abroad, but conservatives also pack and head to Malaysia, Gulf countries and others.

The unreasonable restrictions are making the business of domestic tourism so dificult.
