* TDF assesses the impact of its investments using key metrics such as GDP contribution, job creation, and tourism development potential. The current methodology calculates GDP and job impact per million SAR of total project value, providing a broad view of economic return and aligning with NDF directions. This approach is based on an Input-Output (I/O) model framework, which uses multipliers to estimate both direct and indirect impacts. These metrics help evaluate the effectiveness of capital deployment and guide strategic investment decisions across the tourism sector..
