Riyadh Travel Fair, Saudi Arabia’s largest domestic and outbound tourism promotion event is set to be held at The Arena Grenada Square in Riyadh from May 22 to 24 for the 13th consecutive year with 150 exhibitors from over 35 countries.

This year's event will feature a dedicated pavilion for the travel trade and media, providing exhibitors with valuable opportunities to host seminars and press conferences. The 150 exhibitors, including 30 national and regional pavilions, will grace the show floor, which has been expanded by 30% compared to the 2022 edition.

Bander Al Gryni, General Manager of ASAS Exhibitions, the organizer of the Riyadh Travel Fair, said: "Last year, the Riyadh Travel Fair featured 129 exhibitors with visitor attendance at 24,957. That was an increase of 20% compared to the 2019 edition. This year, we anticipate exhibitors to surpass 150, with expected visitor numbers exceeding 30,000."

Al Gryni added: "Year after year, we have witnessed consistent positive growth in the number of participants, exhibitors, and attendees at RTF. With Saudi nationals increasingly traveling both domestically and overseas, the opportunities that the Riyadh Travel Fair provides for domestic and overseas destinations, hospitality service providers, and other tourism-related businesses to directly engage with the kingdom's leading travel professionals and travelers have never been more significant."

The Riyadh Travel Fair is open to travel professionals and the general public looking for destination information and special deals. Visitors to the 2023 edition will have the opportunity to interact directly with various tourism authorities, hotels, airlines, and travel agents from around the world.
