Tune in to Hala Matar Choufany's interview with Maya Hojeij on Bloomberg Alsharq discussing visitation growth and key tourism drivers in the region:

  • International visitation has been staggering growth in 2024 and is expected to continue across the mid to long term;
  • Investments in tourism infrastructure, notably airports and airlines, continue to play a key role in enhancing visitation growth and tourism appeal;
  • Morocco, Egypt and Saudi offer good investment opportunities supported by government plans and major upcoming international events;
  • Project delays and cancellations are not uncommon in emerging destinations and quantifying actual supply is important for accurate feasibility studies.
