Message from our Chairman

Under the guidance of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques His Royal Highness King Salman bin Abdulaziz, His Royal Highness the Prime Minister and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and fuelled by the aspirations of Vision 2030 and the National Tourism Strategy, we are redefining what it means to be a global destination. From groundbreaking giga-projects to major global events, the Kingdom is crafting destinations and experiences that will inspire, connect, and endure.

As a key player in the tourism agenda, the Tourism Development Fund serves as an enabler of this ambition, investing in businesses, projects, and individuals who are shaping Saudi Arabia’s tourism landscape. By unlocking capital and channelling it into projects of all sizes, we ensure that tourism extends beyond major cities and reaches remote yet significant communities. Through the ESG agendas of the Ministry of Tourism and the Tourism Development Fund, we are embedding sustainability, social responsibility, and strong governance into every phase of this transformation. Saudi citizens are discovering new sources of livelihood across the nation and young Saudis are building futures in an industry that is prepared for the future. Both domestic and international partners are gaining confidence in a sector rooted in trust, accountability, and sustainability.

The vision is to position tourism as one of the central pillars of national prosperity. When the world arrives in the Kingdom, it will see a nation that has transformed itself responsibly, ensuring that growth and sustainability advance hand in hand. This ambition cannot be attained without our esteemed partners, strong leaders, and most importantly, our skilled workforce.

This is the legacy we are building together: a sector that delivers economic value, protects the environment, empowers people, and sets a global benchmark for governance. A sector that will stand as a source of pride for generations to come and as a contribution from the Kingdom to the world.
