Now in its fourth edition, the popular Riyadh Season could see as many as 12 million visitors, Alalshikh said earlier this month.

“We expect 10 million to 12 million visitors this year, and we target more than a million tourists from outside the Kingdom,” he said.

“The Riyadh Season, in its fourth edition, has achieved 40% of its targeted revenue through sponsorship and some large deals even before it’s started,” he added.
