New regulations require tourism establishments to prioritise Saudi workers, register employees, maintain on-site national staff.
Saudi Arabia has implemented a ban on outsourcing local tourism jobs, a move aimed at bolstering national employment figures within the sector. This directive applies to all tourism-related positions.
The decision underscores Saudi Arabia’s commitment to prioritizing its own citizens for employment in a rapidly growing industry. The tourism sector has been a significant focus for the Kingdom as part of its economic diversification efforts.
By preventing the outsourcing of these roles, Saudi Arabia intends to create more opportunities for Saudis, thereby contributing to the nation’s Saudization initiatives. The goal is to ensure that the benefits of the expanding tourism industry are directly channeled towards the local workforce.
This policy change is expected to have a notable impact on the composition of the tourism workforce, encouraging greater participation of Saudi nationals in various capacities within hotels, attractions, and other related services.
