The importance of tourism in economic development and job creation cannot be underestimated and this is especially important for countries in the Middle East that wish to diversify their economies and want them to be less dependent on the oil income. Dubai is the main destination for leisure and business travel in the region and Saudi Arabia is the main centre for religious tourism. Governments want to capitalise on this potential and make tourism one of the important growth magnets for the region.

Middle East Tourism Spend Analytics: Drivers and Restraints

Tourism is an important sector for the Middle Eastern countries who want to wean off the dependence of their economy from the income derived from oil. Hence the governments are taking the necessary steps in encouraging the building of tourist infrastructure in the region. Saudi Arabia is an important centre for religious tourism and is taking steps to benefit more from the influx of foreign tourists coming from all over the world. Besides, due to the presence of cosmopolitan cities such as Dubai, the entire region of the Middle East is expected to welcome more and more tourists. These are the major drivers of the tourism sector in the Middle East. However, a volatile political situation coupled with incidences of terrorism have adversely affected the tourism sector in the region and act as a major restraint to the development of tourism in the Middle East.
