NEW DELHI: The President of Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets of the Saudi Tourism Authority, Alhasan Aldabbagh, said foraying into the Indian market is the biggest ambition of Saudi Arabia and his country has big plans in that regard.
“Our biggest ambition or expectations are around the Indian market. This country is home to a large urban market and it’s growing as one of the fastest emerging destinations today. We have big plans for the Indian market,” he said.
“Last year, we welcomed 1 million Indian visitors to Saudi and I’m glad to say that this year, the number of Indian visitors to Saudi has grown by more than 50 per cent. By 2030, our target is to attract 7.5 million visitors from India to Saudi,” he added.
