Tourism Flows Outbound in Saudi Arabia - New Report Available

Outbound tourism saw an impressive performance in 2013, with the number of trips reaching 18 million, showing 12% growth compared with the previous year. Although the Saudi Commission of Tourism and Antiquities is investing heavily in promoting domestic tourism, the country still lacks any significant forms of entertainment, due to the strict implementation of Shariah law. Despite the organisation of various festivals, the restoration of historical buildings and the preservation of archaeological sites, Saudi Arabia does not offer activities such as water parks, cinemas and theatres, which many families are looking for, especially during long summer holidays, as well as Eid holidays. This encourages them to travel to foreign destinations within the region, or to other continents.

Industry Prospects

Outbound tourism is expected to see the number of departures increase by a CAGR of 12% during the forecast period. The growing unrest in the Middle East will limit outbound travel to selected destinations, such as the United Arab Emirates, which will slow down growth compared with the review period. Nevertheless, the thriving economy will lead to increased spending by Saudis, and they are expected to spend heavily on travelling abroad for holidays, especially given the lack of family holiday activities and destinations within the country. Growth will also be driven by many service providers, such as airlines, hotels and intermediaries, running promotional prices and packages throughout the year.
