The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is making leaps and bounds into boosting their tourism. In the latest news, men and women who are visiting the kingdom no longer have to prove they’re related to share a hotel room. However, Saudi nationals and residents will.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman vowed three years ago to develop the country as a tourist destination, welcoming more foreigners to the Kingdom, for longer and more enjoyable visits. This year alone, Saudi has made massive changes to their laws and regulations in order to attempt to make changes. In August, the ban on women driving unaccompanied was lifted, and supported internationally by some huge names such as Nicki Minaj.
To start the year, General Entertainment Authority (GEA) Chairman Turki Al-Sheikh announced that Saudi restaurants and cafes will have access to licenses for comedy and musical performances.
