Saudia Airlines and the Aseer Development Authority have signed an agreement to promote tourism in the Aseer Region, a prominent destination in Saudi Arabia.

The memorandum of understanding was signed during the Arabian Travel Market 2025 event. Saudia Airlines aims to connect international visitors with the Kingdom, highlighting Aseer’s cultural and heritage sites.

Under the strategic partnership, Saudia Airlines will develop seasonal campaigns targeting spring, summer, and winter travel to increase visitor numbers and bookings to Aseer Region.

The Aseer Region, located in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia, is rapidly emerging as a top destination for both domestic and international tourists due to its unique combination of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and cool climate, especially appealing during the hot summer months in the Arabian Peninsula.

The airline stated that the partnership supports its commitment to local economic growth and aligns with Saudi Arabia’s National Transport and Logistics Strategy. This strategy is part of the Saudi Vision 2030 plan, which aims for 330 million annual visitors to the Kingdom by 2030.
