Riyadh will host the 26th General Assembly of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) from November 7-11.

Saudi Arabia will become the first Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country to host the meeting.

The UNWTO, a specialised UN agency, promotes accessible and sustainable tourism worldwide. The General Assembly is held once in two

years.

It is the organisation’s highest decision-making body, where member states approve budgets, define strategic priorities, and explore innovations shaping the future of global tourism.

According to Saudi Arabia’s tourism ministry, this year’s gathering will be the largest in UNWTO history, with more than 160 delegations expected to attend.
