With decades of experience in GCC tourism strategy consulting in GCC, our firm helps clients thrive in a competitive tourism sector through a wide range of services. Our hands-on support approach and global reach ensure robust strategies tailored to the dynamic needs of GCC's tourism industry.
GCC Macroeconomic Overview
The tourism sector within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) continues to flourish, marked by consistent annual growth rates. Influencing factors include governmental diversification strategies aiming to reduce oil dependency. For example, Saudi Arabia reported a robust 9% increase in tourism-related GDP in 2022.
Rising disposable incomes and relaxed visa regulations across the GCC nations bolster inbound tourist arrivals. In the UAE alone, international visitor numbers experienced a significant uptick of approximately 7.5% in the last fiscal year, indicating strong momentum within the sector.
Investment in infrastructure and cultural projects further sustains this growth trajectory. Qatar, for instance, projected a 10% rise in tourism revenue post-2022 FIFA World Cup geared initiatives. These investments create a dynamic environment for tourism-focused strategy consulting.
