London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2015 -- There is growth predicted for the tourism sector in Saudi Arabia in 2015, a highly significant announcement in a country not typically associated with tourism but instead oil. Tourism is estimated to be capable of providing 5.4% of growth to the Arabian non-oil Gross Domestic Product in 2015. The positive predictions do not just apply to the coming year either – as the percentage is set to rise as high as 5.7% by 2020. In turn, this suggests that the country is undergoing a constructive period of economic diversification and is increasingly an attractive economic opportunity.
The country of Saudi Arabia is typically associated with investments in oil, due to its rich resource base and subsequent facilities to help maintain the industry. Yet in recent years, tourism has been a growing sector. After all, the country has its own rich national heritage, as well as sites of natural and cultural beauty. Increasing numbers of UK citizens are expected to take to the area over the next five years. Some may be travelling to visit family, whilst others may be planning housing and even permanent settlement.
