According to a Tourism Information and Research Center (MAS) report of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH), though the country has long been thought as remote and usually not easy to be granted a traveler’s visa, the travel and tourism sector in the Kingdom has grown at a much faster rate than the wider economy.

长期以来，沙特一直被视作一个遥远的国度，而且获得旅游签证比较困难。然而，根据旅游信息和研究中心(MAS)基于沙特旅游和民族遗产委员会（SCTH）研究成果的报告，沙特的旅游业发展速度已比宏观经济增速快了许多。

Following the success of the efforts of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage in establishing the structure and organization of the sector and approving its regulations, the statistical report showed a remarkable development in the tourism sector in recent years. The contribution of domestic tourism to GDP of Saudi Arabia is one of the highest from non-oil economic sectors.

SCTH致力于旅游行业的组织结构，并从无到有设立相关条例。它们的努力取得了成功。统计报告显示，旅游业近年来取得了显著的发展。就非石油经济部门，沙特旅游业对GDP的贡献最高。
