Saudi Tourism Benchmarking

Eurogroup Consulting provides Saudi Tourism Benchmarking services to help government entities, destination developers, hotel operators, and tourism investors evaluate their performance, competitiveness, and alignment with the Kingdom’s ambitious Vision 2030 Tourism Strategy.

As Saudi Arabia accelerates its transformation into a global tourism destination, benchmarking plays a crucial role in measuring how destinations, attractions, and hospitality providers perform relative to global standards. Our services help clients identify performance gaps, improve visitor experiences, and enhance service quality while ensuring compliance with national regulations and sustainability goals.

Through Saudi Tourism Benchmarking, Eurogroup Consulting delivers fact-based insights that drive strategic improvements and enable tourism stakeholders to contribute effectively to the Kingdom’s growing travel and hospitality ecosystem.

Our Saudi Tourism Benchmarking Services:

Destination Competitiveness and Market Positioning Benchmarking

We evaluate the performance of Saudi Arabia’s emerging and established destinations—such as Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla, NEOM, and The Red Sea—against global tourism benchmarks. Our analysis covers key metrics including visitor arrivals, average length of stay, tourism spending, and infrastructure readiness.

By comparing these indicators with regional leaders like Dubai and international destinations such as Singapore and Spain, we help the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA) and private developers understand where their destinations stand globally. This allows them to refine positioning strategies, attract targeted visitor segments, and optimize destination development initiatives.

Hospitality and Accommodation Benchmarking

We benchmark hotel and resort performance across Saudi Arabia, analyzing indicators such as occupancy rates, ADR (Average Daily Rate), RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room), and guest satisfaction scores.

Our insights are derived from both local and global datasets, enabling operators to understand performance relative to competitors and adjust their service offerings accordingly. We also assess operational efficiency—covering staff productivity, cost per room, and sustainability measures—helping hospitality players improve profitability while enhancing guest experience.

Visitor Experience and Service Quality Benchmarking

We assess end-to-end visitor journeys—from arrival at airports to accommodation, attraction visits, and departure. Our benchmarking includes feedback analysis, satisfaction surveys, and mystery guest evaluations to measure service delivery standards.

This allows stakeholders to identify areas that directly impact tourist satisfaction and loyalty. In partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Tourism, we ensure that our findings align with national service quality frameworks and customer experience goals under the Tourism Sector Strategy.

Cultural, Heritage, and Event Tourism Benchmarking

Cultural tourism is central to Saudi Arabia’s identity. We benchmark heritage sites, museums, festivals, and events under the supervision of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH).

Our analysis measures attendance rates, cultural authenticity, event ROI, and preservation standards, comparing them with global heritage destinations. These benchmarks help cultural institutions and event organizers strengthen programming, visitor engagement, and site management practices—ensuring that Saudi Arabia’s rich heritage is showcased responsibly and sustainably.

Sustainability and Smart Tourism Benchmarking

Sustainability and digital transformation are key to Saudi Arabia’s tourism future. We benchmark ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance across hotels, tour operators, and destinations.

This includes carbon footprint tracking, waste management, and renewable energy adoption. Our smart tourism benchmarking also assesses digital readiness—evaluating the use of mobile booking platforms, AI-driven personalization, smart ticketing, and digital marketing strategies.

By aligning with the Saudi Green Initiative and Ministry of Tourism’s sustainability standards, we help stakeholders adopt greener operations while integrating smart technologies that improve tourist convenience and destination management.
