An ambitious vision: The historical context of the Qiddiya project
The development of this massive project comes within the framework of the radical transformations taking place in the Kingdom as part of Saudi Vision 2030. Since the announcement of the Qiddiya project, envisioned as the capital of entertainment, sports, and the arts, efforts have accelerated to create globally competitive tourist destinations. Water parks and theme parks are a cornerstone of this strategic plan, as the Kingdom aims to diversify its national income sources and reduce its dependence on oil by bolstering the tourism and entertainment sector and providing high-quality recreational options for citizens and residents that enhance their quality of life.
Economic and tourism impact at the local and international levels
The impact of this massive project extends far beyond simply providing a recreational destination; it encompasses profound economic and tourism dimensions. Locally, the project contributes to creating thousands of direct and indirect job opportunities for Saudi youth and supports local businesses. Regionally, the park positions the Kingdom at the forefront of tourism competition in the Gulf and Middle East, attracting families from neighboring countries. Internationally, the integration of world-class design and operational standards makes the destination a major attraction for tourists from around the globe, further enhancing Saudi Arabia's standing on the global tourism map.
