Tourism Expenditure per Capital (US$)

The average Saudi traveller spends 6.5 times more than the world average traveller

Saudi Arabia’s outbound travel sector is experiencing significant growth, with outbound spend reaching SAR 103.8 billion (~US $27.7 billion). The number of outbound trips is projected to hit 11.6 million by 2025, highlighting a sharp rise in international travel demand. The average spend per outbound trip stands at US $4,800, with High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWls) spending almost double at US $9,200. Currently, 61% of hotel accommodations cater to the luxury segment, and 78% of pipeline rooms are also positioned in the luxury category-showing a strong future emphasis on high-end travel. The travel sector contributes approximately 12-13% to the national GDP, and the luxury market size is expected to grow from US $12.9 billion in 2024 to US $22.2 billion by 2033, marking Saudi Arabia as a major force in the global luxury travel economy.
