PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Positive outlook as major events and further investment support lodging growth
Retail sales of lodging in Saudi Arabia are set to record a 15% current value CAGR (2025 constant value CAGR of 12%) over the forecast period, reaching SAR192 billion. Future growth will be supported by the country hosting major international events such as Expo 2030 and the FIFA World Cup in 2034, which will further boost the hospitality sector.
Despite new builds and expansion plans, challenges will remain
A significant number of new lodging units are currently under construction or in the final planning stages, with 78% expected to fall into the luxury, upper-upscale, or upscale segment. By 2030, giga projects such as NEOM, Rua Al Madinah, Jabal Omar, and the Red Sea Project are projected to deliver 252,000 hotel keys in the Holy Cities, with 64% of them in the four- and five-star categories.

Lodging (Destination)
Lodging (Destination) covers the main types of lodging used by inbound and domestic tourists, providing a destination point of view (also known as point of supply). Lodging value is measured in terms of the price paid for lodging by the consumer and businesses based on total room sales. It does not include food and drinks or any other form of revenue that is not directly related to lodging, such as events and conferences and guest services, such as gym, spa, shop, room service, restaurant and café. Lodging volume is measured in terms of number of outlets and rooms at year end, and room nights as total of the full year.
