Common Questions

Frequently Asked

What is Saudi Vision 2030?

+
Saudi Vision 2030 is the Kingdom's comprehensive strategic framework launched in April 2016 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It aims to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy away from oil dependence through three pillars: Vibrant Society, Thriving Economy, and Ambitious Nation. The plan encompasses 96 strategic objectives, 13 Vision Realization Programs, and over 1,502 tracked initiatives spanning tourism, entertainment, technology, manufacturing, financial services, and social reform. As of 2025, 87% of initiatives are completed or on track, with 674 fully completed.

How is Vision 2030 performing against its targets?

+
Results are strong across most dimensions. 93% of KPIs are achieving targets. Non-oil revenues hit $137B (113% above 2016). Unemployment dropped to 7% — five years early. Female workforce doubled to 36.3%. PIF reached $1.15T. Tourism hit 122M visitors. The IMF upgraded GDP growth to 3.5%. Some targets need acceleration — private sector GDP is at 47% vs. a 65% target, and home ownership is progressing but below the 70% goal. Several giga-projects including NEOM have undergone strategic scope revisions.

What is NEOM and what is its current status?

+
NEOM is Saudi Arabia's flagship $500B+ giga-project in Tabuk Province, featuring The Line (170km linear city), Oxagon (floating industrial port), and Trojena (mountain resort). As of early 2026, Phase 1 foundations are nearing completion with the first 2-5km expected to be structurally complete by late 2026. The NEOM Green Hydrogen Project is 80% complete. However, the project has undergone strategic revisions — initial residential targets scaled from 1.5M to 300K by 2030, a new CEO was appointed, and full completion is now projected over decades rather than by 2030. Despite this, Saudi leadership has reaffirmed NEOM as a strategic priority.

How is Saudi Arabia's tourism sector performing?

+
Saudi Arabia welcomed 122M visitors in 2025 with $81B in spending — a 5% increase year-over-year. The 100M milestone was achieved in 2023, six years ahead of schedule. Tourism contributes 5% of GDP with a target of 10% by 2030. $800B is being invested in tourism infrastructure. 320,000 new hotel rooms are planned. Riyadh Air ordered 72 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. King Salman International Airport will handle 120M passengers. Key destinations include AlUla, Red Sea Global, AMAALA (opened Nov 2025), Qiddiya, and Diriyah Gate. Religious tourism (Hajj, Umrah) accounts for 41% of inbound visits.
