Saudi Arabia has set its sights on welcoming 3 million visitors from China by 2030, as it was recently granted Approved Destination Status by China.
The bilateral agreement allows Chinese citizens to travel to Saudi Arabia in group tours and offers them a greater ease of access to the country.
Saudi Arabia is fully China-ready with new direct flights, customized products, and strategic partnerships in place to make group and Flexible Independent Travel seamless, according to the Saudi tourism authority.
Following the ADS designation, Saudi Arabia will continue to work closely with its partners in China to enhance the existing framework and facilitate the travel experience for Chinese tourists, the authority says.
