Previously, non-business and non-religious visitors had extremely limited access to Saudi Arabia. The tourist visa programme, a cornerstone of <a href="https://vision2030.ai/vision/">Vision 2030&rsquo;s</a> tourism strategy, enables citizens of eligible countries to visit the Kingdom for tourism, events, leisure, and Umrah. The application process is straightforward, predominantly digital, and designed to facilitate the Kingdom&rsquo;s target of attracting 150 million annual visits by 2030.</p>https://vision2030.ai/vision/priority-tourism/Sun, 22 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://vision2030.ai/vision/priority-tourism/<h2 id="tourism-and-entertainment">Tourism and Entertainment</h2> <p>Tourism and entertainment in Saudi Arabia sit at the centre of <a href="https://vision2030.ai/encyclopedia/vision-2030/">Vision 2030</a>&rsquo;s attempt to turn domestic leisure demand and international curiosity into a durable non-oil sector. A decade ago, the Kingdom had no tourist visa, limited public entertainment infrastructure, and few globally marketed destinations. The decision to build toward 100 million annual visits, while scaling events, resorts, culture, and sports, is one of the programme&rsquo;s most visible economic bets.</p>
