The membership reflects Saudi Arabia’s prominent international presence, enabling the STA to actively participate in the board’s work and enhance cooperation and expertise exchange with other member states.
It also supports the STA’s efforts to solidify the Kingdom’s position on the global tourism map, promote its unique destinations worldwide, and align with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
