Inside Saudi Arabia’s $800 Billion Travel Destination Transformation | Forbes

In my opinion ... wasted money.

7 star? What does that even mean???

I wish the there was a page or something where international and national muslims from Saudi and all over the world can sign a petition or resignation of the “Royal” family especially that shaytaan “prince” Muslim citizens should have a say in what goes on in Saudi they are the people not the government

👍🌍

When will Jated Kushner ne subpeonaed for $2B from Saudis?

remove your houthi problem

THEY CAN BUILD SAUDI ARABIA IN LAS VEGAS, WHERE YOU CAN WEAR SKIMPY DRESSES AND DRINK ANYWHERE

the aliens WILL COME AND VISIT IN A BILLION YEARS

I think they overestimate the number of millionaire travelers.

why should people even go there? to have a 50-degree hot sun and look at the desert and drink tea there is nothing fun in that

If you're planning a trip ask about complimentary hotel stays. Rather than have a vacant room they hotels will offer these complimentary stays in hopes you spend in other ways

Well done Saudi Arabia. Such a great vision a new market and will benefit everyone.

Amazing! Just on time. I mean the dollar domination could come to an end. There is a great resistance of maintaining the actual system which lead to a huge gap in equity across the world. lack of development in countries where purchase of gasoline is almost impossible.

You build it , people will come .

Under the Vision 2030 plan, Prince Mohammed has brought in several multibillion-dollar projects to put Saudi Arabia on the map for innovation, tech and youth-driven initiatives."We have big opportunities in front of us in different sectors and we have to exploit them to continue to grow and prosper," he said on the Liwan Al Mudaifer Show.

“We want to live a normal life. A life in which our religion translates to tolerance, to our traditions of kindness,” he told international business leaders at a conference in Riyadh last year.

MBS, the 34-year-old de facto ruler, has overseen the most fundamental transformation in the modern history of the Gulf nation. He has shaken up the ultraconservative oil superpower with economic, social and religious reforms since becoming crown prince.

The line is so dumb.
It'll never happen. Nobody wants to move to Saudi. Not even for a crazy line.

👍👌✌

The religious police were disbanded years ago and the rules for women has progressed dramatically. Women are not required to cover their heads - go around RIyadh, see it for yourself. Women are engaged in the work force, education and are Chairpersons of many of these large projects. Doctors, lawyers, bankers, financiers and the like - women abound. Go there - speak to people - hit the ground, and then talk. I am an Australian national and was blown away - where perception meets reality, understanding emerges.

Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you. Quality stocks have underperformed the S&P500 this year, My $400k portfolio is down by approximately 20 %, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated.

Astagfurallah…..May Allah swt put a halt on this.

Saudi Arabia in 2030 gonna be one of the top world destination with all these projects

Who will travel to Saudi Arabia ? Muslim, Chinese, and Russian. Western will not. You can't drink, women can´t drive, You can´t kiss your spouse openly. Women can´t travel alone. All together: it's a Paradise for vacations.
Most of the incoming travelers are Muslims who want to visit Mekka and Jeddah, they are not interested in Hotels.

Lala !! Nobody is going to that country. UAE is still not able to generate the aamount of money UAE has invested in Dubai.

SAUDI ARABIA is OVER-RATED, bound to fail due to Corruption

Saudi Arabia got more billions than ruler of Dubai but does not got vision and determination like him to complete an impossible project under any circumstances 😂😂😂😂

So, when are they opening Jurassic Park??

"Allegations of human rights abuses" You should be ashamed, Forbes. Bet the saudis paid really well for that hard hitting piece of journalism

Wait a second why does this sound like a advertisement

Hmmmm Allah is not going to like this one bit

WHILE IN GAZA..............

Nice propaganda piece Forbes.👎🏻

All built with slave labor and nobody in the West will protest.

Soy español pero me gustaría ir a Arabia

Quiero decir, un solo megaproyecto q valga 800 mil millones €???

800 billion ??? No lo creo FAKE NEWS ALL LIES

Why does this whole segment feel empty like Suaid Arabia payed for it?

neom in that authoritarian corrupt country is the dumbest thing we've ever seen in a while..

"whatever your preconceived notions of Saudi as a tourist destination are..."

Oh so it's not going to be a authoritarian ecological disaster nightmare country anymore? Grow a spine shills

ironic how Yemen just few km to the south is facing famine that's killing dozens of children caused by the Saudis

UAE started the same concepts 15 years ago. Tourism infrastructure has created a booming business in UAE. The shift in Saudi is tangible with head family shifting its staunch views on human rights etc to bring in the masses. The football matcches, formula one and other events are all part of this. People will look away at issues when oil dollars are waved in their faces. But when the oil runs out I think you will see many projects close,case n point the Palm Jameirah hotel n condo development in UAE that is sinking back into the sea. From desert sand, these projects are built on,with enough time you will see the desert reclaiming its sovereignty.

We want to rid our economy of the mercy of oil by building a sector of tourism, industry, agriculture, etc. We want to become an industrial country like Japan, Korea, America, Britain and France, and we will achieve our dreams as well. We Arabs have been interested in astronomy and space since ancient times and we have become famous for that, and I mean the Arabs, the sons of the Arabian Peninsula.

They are making it for white people but they will be saved from bankruptcy on these projects by Brown people as Most of Dubai properties are owned by Pakistanis & Indians.

hahahaha as if I'll go there. no thanks, I'd rather go Europe or Asia

what was this glass wall in the desert?

This is the last thing we need right now on our planet..

Damn 800 billion $

Saudi Arabia is like Phoenix without cold beer.
