It also covers major events such as the Esports World Cup and boxing matches. The Minister of Tourism mentioned the increase in tourism in Saudi Arabia and its ranking as number one on the UN World Tourism list.
The CEO of STA drew attention to the fact of different temperatures within the country during the summer and cooler highlands. Some of them include free child tickets with airlines, tax-free shopping, special hotel offers, and private beaches.
