Water entertainment set to boost Saudi Vision Plan

Riyadh: As Saudi Arabia continues to develop and diversify its economy, reducing dependence on oil, the water park industry in the Kingdom is gaining momentum. With Vision 2030 prioritizing tourism, developers are becoming more creative about how to incorporate aquatics into the entertainment space.

The growing number of water parks and aquatic entertainment sites indicates that property developers are finding new ways to integrate water rides into venues to create experiences that surprise and delight guests from all over the world.

The total number of entertainment venues in the Kingdom is expected to exponentially grow, with licenses being granted for more than 24 amusement parks and 421 entertainment centers in January 2023. Offering benefits for both tourists and locals alike, the joy of playing with water is something that people never seem to tire of.

Whether visiting animals at the zoo and seeing a splash pad for kids, shopping at the mall and witnessing a FlowRider® surf simulator, or staying at a hotel with a full set of water slides, these attractions are growing rapidly due to their contribution in raising the overall quality of life, helping to form healthy relationships, and driving economic growth.
