Saudi Arabia’s Role in the Global MICE Market

With nearly 17,000 events attracting over 20 million visitors in 2023, Saudi Arabia is the fastest-growing MICE destination among G20 nations. The country’s Vision 2030 plans include significant investments in transportation, venues, and giga-projects, alongside the 588 million SAR (US$156 million) incentive program to support marquee events. IMS24 underscores Saudi Arabia’s transformation into a global hub for business events and tourism.
