Saudi Tourism Visa Boost: The Saudi Tourism Authority launched a new “Saudi Package Visa” that bundles visa application with approved travel bookings (including flights and tourism activities), aiming to cut steps and simplify planning for eligible visitors—starting with Pakistan before expanding to more markets. New Entertainment Pull in Abha: SEVEN’s first Saudi entertainment destination, SEVEN Abha, is set to open Aug. 5, designed for families and visitors with interactive attractions and year-round experiences. Regional Travel Demand Signals: Abha International Airport hit a record day with 130+ flights (117 domestic, 15 international), pointing to strong summer travel momentum. Family Summer in AlUla: AlUla is marketing a family-friendly summer lineup built around UNESCO heritage sites, outdoor safaris, heritage trails, and easy access via regional flights. Air Connectivity Upgrade: Riyadh Air opened ticket sales for daily Mumbai–Riyadh flights from Aug. 4, adding a major new link for business and leisure travelers. Tech for Safer Travel Planning: KAUST unveiled AI-assisted device authentication tech using laser-generated digital fingerprints, targeting faster, low-energy security for connected travel and digital services. Bigger Picture Pressure: Gulf trade and tourism are still feeling strain as Saudi–UAE border delays worsen amid regional tensions, with knock-on effects for logistics and travel planning.
