Key Market Dynamics Reshaping the KSA MICE Landscape

The report identifies four key growth drivers that will define the market's next phase of development:

Government-Backed Vision 2030 Momentum

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 prioritizes the growth of business and leisure tourism to diversify national revenue streams. The Saudi Convention and Exhibition General Authority (SCEGA) has been established to enhance the Kingdom's global competitiveness, streamline event licensing, and attract international conferences. This initiative ensures long-term regulatory stability and investor confidence for MICE stakeholders.

Infrastructure Investment Surge

Mega-projects such as NEOM, Qiddiya, and The Red Sea are creating world-class convention centers, premium hotels, and modern transport networks to support international events. Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province are emerging as MICE hubs, with Riyadh alone accounting for nearly 40% of total event activity. These infrastructure investments strengthen Saudi Arabia's ability to host large-scale international exhibitions and congresses.

Rising Corporate and Incentive Travel Demand

Corporate spending on meetings and incentive travel has surged in the post-pandemic recovery phase. Organizations are increasingly combining business with leisure ("bleisure") travel, fueling demand for high-end hospitality and event experiences. The report highlights that incentive tourism is projected to grow at over 12% CAGR, supported by visa reforms and expanding airline connectivity.

International Event Influx and Localization Opportunity

Saudi Arabia's hosting of global conferences such as LEAP, World Defense Show, and Future Investment Initiative has bolstered its reputation as an international business-events hub. Local event management companies are now collaborating with global operators, creating a hybrid ecosystem that supports localization and knowledge transfer within the Kingdom's event services sector.
