RIYADH: The Saudi Tourism Authority and VisitBritain, the UK’s national tourism agency, have signed a declaration of intent to develop and grow tourism.
The signing, at the GREAT Futures Conference, means the two kingdoms will collaborate and share expertise about domestic and international tourism.
VisitBritain has predicted there will be 240,000 visitors to the UK from Saudi Arabia this year, up 9 percent from 2019. It also predicted that travelers will spend £752 million ($65.56 million) during their trips, up 20 percent since 2019.
