Kingdom Business & Luxury Travel is at the forefront of Saudi Arabia’s transformation into a premier global destination. As the largest economy in the Middle East and North Africa, the kingdom is rapidly evolving under the ambitious Vision 2030 plan, which aims to diversify its economy and elevate its global standing. Business and luxury travel are central to this vision, and significant events scheduled for September 25th and 26th, 2024, will further underscore this transformation.

QnA International is thrilled to announce the inaugural Kingdom Business & Luxury Travel (KBLT) Congress, a premier event crafted to “Connect the World to Saudi Arabian Buyers” and shape the future of the Kingdom’s travel industry. With Saudi Arabia’s outbound travel market projected to surpass $43 billion by 2025, and its travel and tourism sector estimated to reach $3.95 billion by 2024, the KBLT Congress is set to play a pivotal role in bringing together global travel suppliers—including hotels, resorts, airlines, and cruise lines—with key decision-makers from Saudi Arabia’s corporate, business, and luxury travel sectors. This congress will serve as a vital platform for forging relationships, exploring opportunities, and defining the next phase of Saudi Arabia’s travel landscape.

Following the success of the Meetings Arabia & Luxury Travel (MALT) Congress and the MICE India & Luxury Travel (MILT) Congress, QnA International is poised to lead in this rapidly expanding market. The KBLT Congress offers a unique opportunity to engage with Saudi Arabia’s dynamic travel landscape and redefine MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travel standards. Join us as we explore new possibilities and drive innovation in this fast-growing sector.

The Kingdom Business & Luxury Travel (KBLT) Congress will take place on 25th-26th September 2024 at the Crowne Plaza Riyadh RDC Hotel & Convention in Saudi Arabia. Designed to “Connect the World to Saudi Arabian Buyers,” this event will unite global travel suppliers with top decision-makers in the Kingdom’s corporate, business, and luxury travel sectors. With Saudi Arabia’s outbound travel market projected to exceed $43 billion by 2025, the KBLT Congress will shape the future of the Kingdom’s rapidly growing travel industry.
