Launched in 2018, the Quality of Life Program is transforming Saudi Arabia into a world-renowned sports and entertainment location, a global tourism hotspot, and a top-ranked country people can call home.

Enhancing a wide variety of sectors, the Program focuses on the empowerment of arts and culture, promotion of sports and leading a healthy life, and the development of more livable urban areas. As well as creating exciting new sectors and diversifying economic activity, the Program is bolstering local employment opportunities and beautifying cities across the Kingdom. These efforts combine to create a better quality of life for all.

The Program is empowering Saudi Arabia’s transformation as a top destination to live, work and play. Home to a dynamic population, the majority of whom are under 35, the Kingdom is building an engaging society for citizens, residents, and visitors.

Since the launch of the tourist visa in 2019, there have been more than 94 million visits from across the globe, resulting in a plethora of opportunities in the fields of tourism, hospitality, and entertainment. The Program has introduced initiatives to train millions of skilled people needed by 2030 to cater for these demands, and to support the Kingdom’s private sector.

Continued innovation is delivering the promise of greater quality of life, underpinning Vision 2030’s ambitious goals for a more livable and vibrant society.
