Why Tourism and Hospitality Recruitment in Saudi Arabia Matters
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 aims to welcome over 150 million annual visitors by 2030, driving rapid growth in hotels, resorts, cultural sites and entertainment facilities. This expansion has created high demand for talent across:
- Hotel management and operations
- Food and beverage service
- Front-of-house and guest experience
- Facilities and construction project management
- Resort and entertainment staffing
- Tourism development and cultural services
With these opportunities come compliance challenges. The Saudi government’s Saudization (Nitaqat) policy sets specific localisation quotas for tourism and hospitality roles. Non-compliance can result in fines, restricted visas and project delays.
We help you navigate these regulations, build a compliant workforce and deliver exceptional hospitality standards that align with Saudi Arabia’s national goals.
