Implications for Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s primary revenue source is the oil and gas trade, which has remained the case for years. However, the country tilts toward diversifying its economy to encourage widespread growth and reduce the reliance on oil and gas. One of the ways it aims to diversify is through the tourism sector. The country was to be a substantial tourist site by 2030.
The need to achieve Saudi Arabia’s goals is why the PIF’s investment deal greatly benefits Saudi Arabia. Not only does it aid the achievement of Saudi Arabia’s vision, but it also helps its preparedness and drive as the government hopes to have at least 100 million tourists by 2030.
Conclusion
The Aman deal has been in the works for a while, and upon conclusions, work has begun. While there is no known timeline for its activities, one can only presume that the Group will endeavor to finish its projects as soon as feasible to start providing hospitality services to tourists.
