Saudi Arabia is diversifying its tourism sector by developing mid-range resorts on Shebara Island alongside luxury options, while expanding religious tourism infrastructure to accommodate 30 million pilgrims annually by 2030. The kingdom is adding thousands of hotel rooms and streamlining visa policies, including a proposed GCC Schengen-style arrangement. This Vision 2030 initiative aims to attract 150 million visitors yearly, reduce oil dependence, and establish Saudi Arabia as a leading global destination for both leisure and religious travel.
