Saudi Arabia drew 27 million foreign tourists in 2023 and has more than doubled its goal for the end of the decade, an official said on Tuesday.

The announcement came less than five years after the Kingdom fully opened up to tourism.

“We have reached 100 million tourists this year, 77 million from home, 27 million from abroad, over 100 million,” Tourism Minister Ahmed al-Khateeb said at a conference organized by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, describing the 2023 figures.

Authorities now hope to hit 150 million tourists by 2030, up from an earlier goal of 100 million, with 70 million of those coming from abroad, up from an earlier goal of 30 million, he said.

Tourism is an important element of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030 reform agenda, which aims to help the world’s biggest crude exporter transition away from fossil fuels and prepare for an eventual post-oil future.
