Saudi Arabia is gearing up to welcome 53,000 Korean visitors in 2023, almost five times the 11,000 visitors recorded last year, aided by direct flight routes, stopover visas and diversified travel packages, according to the Saudi Tourism Authority.
During a tourism roadshow at the Westin Josun Seoul on Monday, the STA introduced a wide range of experiences available to Korean holidaymakers in the kingdom, centered around the Golden Triangle.The Golden Triangle refers to three major cities — Riyadh, AlUla and Jeddah — interconnected by highway system and domestic flights. Saudi is home to over 10,000 archaeological sites and six UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Jeddah’s historical district Al Balad and Turaif in Diriyah.
“Saudi is committed to facilitating a seamless travel experience for all kinds of travelers, from meditation and relaxing trips to adventures and entertainment,” Alhasan Aldabbagh, STA’s Asia Pacific region president said. “We know Korean travelers are looking for authentic experiences and we are confident that those who know nothing about Saudi Arabia can also enjoy a magnificent trip with so many things to see.
