“As the world still reels from and continues to face the challenge of the pandemic we are initially very focused on domestic tourism. We passionately believe Diriyah is for everyone – local and international – and we want our residents to become our most loyal and vocal ambassadors, to reintroduce Saudi to the Saudis. Post-Covid we believe that the appeal for Saudi Arabia is vast. Again the access from Riyadh is key for Diriyah, meaning that both the leisure and business traveller transiting through and arriving into Riyadh is within easy distance to us and can visit as part of a wider multi-centre stay in the kingdom, a twin-centre with Riyadh or en route to other global destinations.”
-Jerry Inzerillo, CEO of Diriyah Gate Development Authority in Saudi Arabia, about how the kingdom intends to attract millions of tourists from around the world by 2030. [Globetrender]
