Saudi Arabia as part of its vision to build a strong non-oil economy has developed the country into a leading tourist destination and now the Kingdom’s tourism sector is launching extensive training programs in different cities.
In line with the Kingdom’s vision, the country has launched the first stage of the “Tourism Pioneers Camp” in Riyadh. The program was initiated as part of the ministry of tourism’s strategy to build human resources in the sector, develop their skills, and transform their ideas into innovative prototypes that could be applied in real life. The program will award up to $11,700 to its participants.
Following Riyadh, Jeddah and Alkhobar will launch their programs on September 14, and then in Abha on September 28, and in Tabuk on October 5 in preparation for the second stage of the camp, which will be declared at a later date.
