A Taylor Swift concert is good news for any country’s tourism. It gets Swifties on their toes, making their way to the concert of their choice, as Taylor belts out hit after hit at one of those surreal gigs in cities across the globe.
Sydney has seen it. Singapore is gearing up. And if all goes well, Swift might soon be making her way to the desert of Saudi Arabia, says Alhasan Aldabbagh, president of APAC markets at Saudi Tourism Authority.
Alhasan Aldabbagh was in the capital for SATTE, where India Today caught up with him.
Over a half-hour chat, Aldabbagh tells us that ‘discussions were on’ about getting Taylor Swift to perform in Saudi Arabia. “We’ll see… maybe there will be some good news soon,” says Aldabbagh, as we ask him if Swifties could expect a concert in Saudi soon.
But Taylor Swift or not, Saudi Arabia is quite the destination to visit. The country has its eyes set firmly on Vision 2030.
