Madinah came in at number one among Saudi cities, number five in the Gulf, number six in the Arab world, and number seven in the Middle East. With its 88th-place ranking worldwide, it cemented its place as a major force in the global tourist scene.
The rating is based on six major pillars that include 55 indicators: tourist performance, health and safety, sustainability, infrastructure, economic and commercial performance, and tourism policies and attractiveness. The city's all-encompassing strategy for creating a remarkable tourism environment is demonstrated by these measures.
This honor is a reflection of Madinah's deliberate attempts to improve guest experiences, expand its tourism products, and give sustainability top priority. The growth of the city is in line with the larger objectives of Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia's bold reform program designed to diversify the economy and establish the Kingdom as a major international travel destination.
