Riyadh Air and the Saudi Tourism Authority have signed a significant MoU; aims to facilitate travel to over 100 countries by 2030

At the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns Riyadh Air, and the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA) inked a major memorandum of understanding (MoU).  Through a number of projects, this alliance hopes to improve the quality of service offered to tourists and make travel to more than 100 countries easier by 2030. 

The CEO of the Saudi Tourism Authority, Fahd Hamidaddin, declared that Saudi Arabia—and Riyadh in particular—is ready to receive millions of additional visitors. He underlined how crucial it is to work together with major industry participants, like Riyadh Air, in order to give each tourist the greatest experiences and services possible. Hamidaddin further emphasized that Saudi Arabia has connections to more than 180 locations at the moment, and that by 2030, it hopes to triple its yearly passenger flow to 330 million.

New routes and destinations, cooperative marketing efforts, sponsorship opportunities, attendance at significant roadshows and international events, marketplace accessibility to STOCH, participation in the Tourism Accelerator Program, and collaboration in the creation and design of tourism products are just a few of the main areas on which the partnership will concentrate. 

Attending the Arabian Travel Market event in Dubai from May 6–9 is regarded as one of the most significant platforms for regional tourism for STA.
