Abstract

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's interest in developing the tourism sector as an alternative opportunity to fuel economy, and its attempt to activate this sector by sending master plans and economic reforms that help activate the role of tourism in achieving sustainable development, we decided to carry out this study, which aims to present the tourist activity, its importance and determinants that have an impact on sustainable development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by conducting a statistical field study based on a questionnaire consisting of 47 items, directed to a sample consisting of 197 individuals out of 587 specialists in tourism in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to analyze the questionnaire, SPSS 15.0 and LISREL 8.7 programs were used to process the data. After confirming the validity of the hypothesis that there are several determinants of tourism in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which have a positive impact on achieving sustainable development. The most important results of the study were that the determinants have a significant impact on tourism activity and have a long-term relationship for tourism investment, and many other determinants. From this we conclude that tourism activity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is linked to the performance of differents sectors, and other areas remain effective as well, due to its economic and social role.
