Tourism Ministry Intensifies Inspection Efforts in Summer Tourist Destinations

The Ministry of Tourism has intensified its inspection efforts across several summer tourist destinations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These inspections aim to ensure that hospitality facilities of all types hold the necessary licenses from the ministry and comply with approved quality standards, coinciding with the launch of the Saudi Summer season.

 The inspection tours covered multiple regions and cities, including Aseer, Al-Baha, Taif, and Jeddah, over the past two months.

 The ministry's inspection teams conducted more than 2,800 visits to summer destinations. These visits assessed the quality of services provided, the availability of safety requirements, and cleanliness levels, while also confirming that facilities had obtained the necessary licenses to operate.

 The ministry emphasized to all hospitality establishments—including private facilities—the importance of delivering high-quality services and adhering to its approved regulations. It stressed that violators will face penalties, which may include fines of up to SAR1 million, closure of the facility, or both.

 The ministry also called on tourists and visitors to report any concerns regarding hospitality services by contacting the Unified Tourism Center at (930). All reports will be promptly addressed to enhance service quality and improve the overall visitor experience at tourist destinations.
