摘要
Tourism in Saudi Arabia has been rapidly growing and evolving in recent years as part of the Saudi government's efforts to diversify its economy away from oil dependence and promote the country as a tourist destination. The country aims to invest $800 billion in the next decade, particularly targeting international travellers.
