The Kingdom continues to be a significant player in the Middle East&#8217;s tourism sector, with both international and domestic tourism contributing to its economic landscape. According to Vision 2030, the first quarter of 2026 saw 37.2 million tourists, with 8.3 million being international visitors, marking a 13% decrease from the previous year, while domestic trips surged by 16% to 28.9 million. This nuanced scenario underscores the importance of understanding the distinct trends within Saudi Arabia&#8217;s tourism sector.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Tourism reported that the combined visitor count rose by 8%, despite the decline in international arrivals. Spending patterns also shifted, with international visitors contributing SAR48 billion, which accounted for 58% of total tourism spending, whereas domestic tourists spent SAR34.7 billion. This financial contribution highlights the economic significance of both visitor segments, even as total spending fell approximately 1% to 2% year-on-year.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Indicator<\/th>\n<th>Value<\/th>\n<th>Source<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total Visitors Q1 2026<\/td>\n<td>37.2 million<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>International Visitors Q1 2026<\/td>\n<td>8.3 million<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Domestic Trips Q1 2026<\/td>\n<td>28.9 million<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>International Visitor Decline<\/td>\n<td>13%<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Domestic Trips Increase<\/td>\n<td>16%<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total Tourism Spending Q1 2026<\/td>\n<td>SAR82.7 billion<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>International Spending Q1 2026<\/td>\n<td>SAR48 billion<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Domestic Spending Q1 2026<\/td>\n<td>SAR34.7 billion<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>International Share of Spending<\/td>\n<td>58%<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Domestic Share of Spending<\/td>\n<td>42%<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spend Per International Visitor<\/td>\n<td>SAR5,780<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spend Per Domestic Visitor<\/td>\n<td>SAR1,200<\/td>\n<td>Vision 2030<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Economic Impact of Tourism<\/strong> Saudi Arabia&#8217;s tourism sector is pivotal for economic diversification.
