Saudi Arabia tops Arab countries with 18 million visitors until Q3-2022

Saudi Arabia ranked as the top Arab country with the most tourists during the first nine months of 2022, with 18 million visitors to the country.

The figures issued by the United Nations World Tourism Organization show that the Saudi Arabia attracted more than 18 million visitors in the first three quarters of 2022, followed by the UAE with 14.8 million tourists, and Morocco with 11 million tourists.

Saudi government officials aim to attract 100 million visitors annually by the end of this decade.

Given these unprecedented numbers, the sector will represent the major focus during the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2023, which will be held at the Dubai World Trade Center from May 1-4.

This year’s Saudi Summit is scheduled to take place on the global stage of the Arabian Travel Market, during which the importance of the kingdom in reshaping the regional scene of travel and tourism will be highlighted now that mega projects are in full swing.
