15、abias tourism industry Saudi Arabias National Tourism Strategy,launched in 2016,aims to diversify the countrys revenue streams by making tourism a key economic contributor.Growing the tourism sectors GDP contribution to 10%was set as the original goal by 2030.This objective was pursued by launching
16、various projects catering to leisure,corporate,and Hajj and Umrah tourism across the country.As these projects began to materialize,their impact became evident.According to the International Monetary Funds(IMF)latest publication(September 2024),tourisms GDP contribution increased to 11.5%in 2023,sur
17、passing the 2030 target.This success has led to a revised forecast,projecting tourism contribution to GDP to reach approximately 16%by 2034.Data from the Ministry of Tourism also underscores the effectiveness of new policies and incentives aimed at driving the tourism sector,such as the introduction

55、t of increasing demand amidst limited supply,and the potential for higher occupancy rates and room yields.To ensure individual projects complement one another as part of the overall destinations development plan,most tier two cities have a dedicated development authority.By remaining close to the de
56、velopment authorities,incoming investors can position themselves strategically ahead of the delivery of market-defining masterplans.This combination of factors-low initial competition,potential for market leadership,and the prospect of sustained long-term returns-makes investment in quality hotel st

58、l in Saudi Arabias hotel industryRecognizing the untapped potential of its diverse region,the Kingdom has launched various programs to stimulate private investment across the country.These initiatives aim to address debt facilities and minimum equity requirements,in markets considered to be in their
59、 nascent stages.At the heart of these initiatives is the Tourism Development Fund(TDF),an entity designed to facilitate funding beyond the traditional means.The TDF offers a suite of tools,each designed to address specific challenges and catalyze development particularly across tier two cities.Its d
60、irect debt facility for example,provides long-term loans:a maximum of 70%LTV over 15 years,with multiple grace periods over the duration of construction,and interest rates based on SIBOR plus 100-300 basis points.This allows investors to think big and plan long-term.For more critical and high-risk p
61、rojects,the TDF provides equity contributions of up to 5%,sharing risks and rewards with private investors.It also provides indirect guarantees,offering to endorse debt facilities with its partner banks.This unlocks more complex and tailored debt solutions that would not be available via a direct de
62、bt facility.While regulatory requirements in the Kingdom limit certain investment structures linked to foreign ownership,foreign capital has facilitated some of the most iconic real estate developments,typically achieved via leasehold structures or general funds.The TDF mandate aligns with the lease
63、hold and general fund investment structures.Beyond financing,the TDF also acts as a gateway to a network of partners,from contractors to legal professionals.Through this,investors are also given access to destination-defining masterplans throughout the Kingdom.Welcoming private expertise in tourism
64、and hospitality Complementing the TDFs efforts,is the Ministry of Tourisms Investment Incentives Program,Tourism Ecosystem,which supports both government-led masterplans and private developments.This initiative focuses on tier two destinations,identified as having the highest tourism potential(e.g.A
65、seer,Hail,Al Ahsa,among others).To qualify for the program,developments must include 35-star hotels and resorts,particularly targeting the leisure market.These projects should be less than 70%complete and require a minimum investment of SAR 15 million,excluding the land value.Hospitality or mixed-us
66、e projects with at least 20%hospitality allocations are also considered.The program offers incentives between 15-25%of the total investment,based on the projects strategic relevance to the destinations development.The incentives may include tax credits,tax exemptions,grace periods on government-leas
67、ed lands,and capital expenditure support.13 2025 Jones Lang LaSalle IP,Inc.All rights reserved.Case Study:Wellness Hotel in Aseer ProvinceAseer,located in the southwest of Saudi Arabia,is a destination with a unique natural landscape,comparable to well-established regional destinations like Jabal Ak
68、hdar in Oman.This burgeoning area is currently the focus of significant development efforts,including government-led urban and leisure initiatives.Our case study centers on a proposed wellness hotel project in Aseer,examining its feasibility with and without the backing of the introduced investment
69、incentive programs.It is important to note that this case study presents a theoretical business scenario,albeit grounded in real examples.The uniqueness of each hotel project required an individualized approach to all assumptions.The analysis focuses on two aspects:the initial investment cost and th
70、e stabilized yield.Land costs were excluded from our calculations.The project is an entry upper-upscale wellness hotel with 70 keys and a total gross floor area of 7,700 sq.m.providing ample space for wellness facilities,accommodation and amenities,striking a balance between comfort,luxury,and opera
71、tional efficiency.In evaluating this project,we have factored in an investment incentive of 25%.This is justified by the projects potential to be a destination-defining development.The project timeline factors in a four-year construction period.Following completion,we expect the hotel to achieve sta
72、bilization by its fourth year of operation.We have also estimated an uninflated RevPAR of c.USD 140,based on an annual inflation rate of 2%.This is intentionally positioned below that of more established wellness destinations,providing a realistic view of the hotels potential performance over time.C

75、 the investment potential in Saudi Arabias hotel industrySecuring a commercial loan is considered challenging for a project with a stabilized yield of 6.0%.The enhanced yield of 8.0%would meet most threshold requirements.Not only do the investment incentives take away the concern of securing(commerc
76、ial)debt as the project would align with TDFs mandate,but it also minimizes the equity exposure.The above yields consider the infrastructure development and the wider investment being considered within the region.However,no demand generator development initiatives have been incorporated in the opera
77、ting projections.Therefore,the initial yield could be enhanced significantly when the wider destinations development is achieved.This project would therefore achieve exactly the aim of the Tourism Ecosystem program.By reducing initial costs and equity requirements,these initiatives make it possible
78、for investors to participate in the development of new tourism destinations in Saudi Arabia.12Key insights:15 2025 Jones Lang LaSalle IP,Inc.All rights reserved.Saudi Arabias hospitality market presents a nuanced landscape of opportunity.While tier one cities have demonstrated robust performance ove
79、r the past decade,they also present several barriers to entry,particularly for foreign investors.The dominance of local investment funds and institutions,coupled with legislative hurdles and lack of market transparency,has confined development to government-led masterplans.In contrast,tier two citie
80、s stand out as the new frontier of hospitality investment in Saudi Arabia.These markets not only showcase sizeable annual demand but have also witnessed limited development activity over the last five years.This untapped potential,positions tier two cities as attractive prospects for investors.Their
81、 appeal is further amplified by the governments proactive approach in incentivizing investments,through a combination of ample lending support,partnerships,access to broader economic ecosystems,and significant investment incentives(up to 25%of total investment costs).This support structure not only
82、mitigates some of the inherent risks associated with developing markets but also enhances the potential for attractive returns.As we look to the future of hospitality investment in Saudi Arabia,it is clear that a diversified approach,considering both tier one and tier two cities,may yield the most r
83、obust and rewarding portfolio.The key lies in thorough market analysis,strategic alignment with government initiatives,and a long-term vision that capitalizes on the unique opportunities each tier presents.Looking ahead:Saudi Arabias hospitality potential 16 2025 Jones Lang LaSalle IP,Inc.All rights
