Overview

For Entertainment, Vision 2030 aspires to grow household spending on entertainment from 2.9% to 6.0%, which in turn is expected to develop a SAR 30 B market. Realizing this aspiration requires developing cutting-edge entertainment experiences, launching new entertainment attractions and hosting world-class events and festivals.

For Tourism, Vision 2030 aims to create attractions that are of the highest international standards, improve visa issuance procedures for visitors, and develop Saudi historical and heritage sites. Saudi Arabia aims to more than double the number of Saudi heritage sites registered with UNESCO.
