Arab News: Prince Sultan bin Salman, Secretary-General of the General Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (GCTA), announced his organization's plan to establish three mega tourism projects on the Red Sea coast. "We'll present these projects to higher authorities for approval," he said.
Prince Sultan's statement follows the approval of a strategic tourism development plan by the Council of Ministers, which aims to boost the Kingdom's growing tourism sector by making use of its Red Sea coast. According to GCTA officials, plans have been prepared to establish new tourism projects worth SR150 billion along the Red Sea.
The new resorts will be established in Arrayes in Yanbu, Ras Muhaisen in Makkah province, Haridha in Asir, Fursan in Jizan, and Ras Humaid, Sharma, Qayyal and Dhaffat Al-Wajh in Tabuk. Sultan had signed a contract with an international consultancy firm to prepare a plan for the 1,800-km Saudi Red Sea coast.
The plan is in line with the government strategy to increase the tourism industry's share in the Kingdom's gross domestic product from six to 16 percent by 2020.
Prince Sultan also said that the GCTA would launch its future project, Vision 2020 for tourism investment in the Kingdom in the first quarter of next year. The plan includes investment in tourism sites and in travel, museums, antiquities and urban heritage.
"Saudi Arabia is set to become one of the leading countries in heritage preservation," the GCTA chief said. "We'll establish cooperative societies to preserve heritage villages," he added.
