History

The Saudi Tourism Authority (STA) was established on March 10, 2020 through a royal decree issued by King Salman after approval from the Council of Ministers and upon recommendations from the Council of Economic and Development Affairs.[5] In June 2020, it launched the Tanaffasa (Arabic: تنفس, lit.'breathe') programme, which lasted between 25 June and 30 September that saw 10 natural tourist spots being selected across the country for tourists and travelers to explore Saudi Arabia's summer season.[6] In December 2020, the body organized the Sheeta Haulaka (Arabic: الشتاء حولك, romanizedal-Šitāʾ Ḥaūlaka, lit.'Winter is around you') programme, which lasted between 10 December and the end of March 2021 that saw 17 destinations being selected within Saudi Arabia, allowing tourists and travelers to explore the country's geographical and climatic diversity during the winter season.[7] In March 2021, it launched the Tourism Makers initiative which aimed at encouraging small and medium business enterprises in the private sector to engage in the country's growing tourism industry.[8] In December 2021, it launched the Ruh as-Saudiyah programme (Arabic: روح السعودية, romanizedRūḥ as-Saʿūdīyyah, lit.'Spirit of Saudi') that organized events to showcase the culture and heritage of Saudi Arabia and aimed at targeting tourists from the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council as well as the Middle East region.[9] In November 2023, a Tokyo-based travel company, HIS and the Saudi Tourism Authority signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to boost tourism in the Kingdom.[10][11] In November 2023, The Saudi Tourism Authority, along with other Saudi entities, took part in Media Oasis, a Ministry of Media initiative, in France, aims at redefining media coverage by utilizing modern technology in covering national events and global engagements.[12]

In 2023, STA via its brand "Visit Saudi" sponsored LaLiga[13] and tried to be a sponsor of the FIFA Women's world cup 2023. It was not allowed to.[14] In 2024 Lionel Messi as Saudi's tourism ambassador, part of the sponsorship deal with STA, in a global launched campaign titled "Go Beyond What You Think", places a spotlight on Saudi’s open culture and the importance of inspiring young Saudi women to reach their full potential.[15]
