April 2010 - AHIC 2010 Participants to Discuss Growth Opportunities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
As part of the focus on ‘Unlocking Investment Opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa’ at AHIC 2010, the participants will be discussing opportunities for hotel investment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is placing an increasing focus on developing its tourism market, in a targeted and structured manner, as it seeks to diversify away from oil. There is significant investment being undertaken in tourism infrastructure, including airport expansions and high-speed rail lines, as well as government financed training programmes and public-private partnerships, whilst visa procedures have been eased for non-religious and business visitors.
