The Giant of Outbound Travel
Outbound Spend: USD 25-30 billion annually | Population: 37 million
Saudi Arabia leads as the largest outbound source market in the region, where travelers take 2-3 international trips per year during school holidays, Eid, and summer. 85% prefer 4-5 star properties, booking 3-6 rooms or villas per trip with 7-10 night stays for extended families — creating massive high-value bookings for beach resorts, shopping cities, and luxury escapes in Europe and Asia.
Significant corporate, MICE, and government travel flows from Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, making Saudi Arabia a core market for repeat, high-yield international business when key agencies and corporates are engaged through localized sales and Arabic communication.
