New tourism campaigns are putting two of Saudi Arabia's most distinctive destinations in the spotlight, promoting the mountain landscapes of Asir and the heritage and luxury tourism experiences of AlUla to international travellers from Europe and Asia.
The campaigns aim to introduce a wider global audience to Asir's cool, elevated terrain and scenic peaks, while showcasing AlUla's blend of ancient heritage sites and high-end tourism offerings. Together, the two regions represent contrasting sides of the Kingdom's growing tourism map.
Why It Matters
For residents and expats across the Kingdom, the push reflects the continued expansion of Saudi Arabia's tourism sector and the growing range of domestic travel options available beyond the major cities. As international interest builds, destinations like Asir and AlUla are being positioned as year-round draws for both leisure and cultural travellers.
Targeting visitors from Europe and Asia signals an effort to diversify the sources of inbound tourism and to spread awareness of experiences that stretch from mountain escapes in the south to open-air heritage in the north-west.
The wider goal is to strengthen the Kingdom's profile as a global travel destination, supporting the tourism ambitions set out under Saudi Vision 2030 and encouraging longer, more varied stays for visitors exploring the country.
