TOURISM IN SAUDI-ARABIA - ASIR-NATIONAL-PARK

This article discusses the results of a survey conducted at the Al-Sawdah resort, Saudi Arabia. The purpose was to collect information on the nationalities of visitors, their duration of stay, and the catchment area of the resort. The results indicate that the majority of the visitors came from Asir and neighboring provinces. Visitors from distant places usually stayed longer, compared to those traveling shorter distances. Additionally, the number of previous trips was found to be inversely related to the duration of stay. The findings suggest that there is a large domestic tourism market. The study points to the need to promote tourism in Asir National Park.
