Why It Matters Saudi Arabia welcomed more than 100 million visitors in 2023, with a goal of reaching 150 million by 2030. By introducing Tourism and Hospitality into the secondary curriculum, the Kingdom is investing early in the skills of its youth, ensuring that students can contribute to this vital sector from the moment they graduate. This initiative is not only about careers. It is also about identity. Students will learn how to share Saudi Arabia’s story, traditions, and values with the world, making hospitality education both a professional pathway and a cultural mission.
