GCC Outbound Travel and Tourism Market Trends and Drivers

The GCC outbound travel and tourism market growth is being fueled by factors including rising disposable income, stronger willingness to travel overseas, and more airline connections. Moreover, the rich population, together with the growing temptation to seek out diverse cultures and destinations results in a decisive role for the outbound tourism definition. Seasonality (i.e., the very hot GCC summer months) drives GCC citizens to seek destinations abroad with more temperate climates. Besides, the support of governments to their citizens and residents to adopt a global perspective in their search for economic diversification of incumbent economies serves as more fuel to the fire. But this is possible thanks to travel agencies and online travel service providers who are providing a wide range of individually tailored packages and attractive offers, thus international travel is feasible and appealing.

A of the most prominent trends that are being shape in the GCC outbound travel and tourism segment is the move towards the high-end travel experiences include the high-class hotels, bespoke itineraries and premium services. Currently offered destinations are highly prevalent in Europe, Asia, and the Americas but are anticipated to meet the demands of the region for quality experiences based on excellent hospitality and sanitation. The trend of halal tourism is been able to affect travel preferences as a lot of travelers desire destinations put forward by halal food, place of worship facilities, etc, and Muslim-friendly facilities. With technology, travel bookings are becoming a convenient and personalized experience for every GCC traveler, including mobile booking apps, artificial intelligence based travel recommendations and travel suppliers. With many travelers adopting sustainable tourism behaviors, such a strategy motivates them to adopt eco-destinations and eco-experiences. Increased consumer demand and rapidly expanding global connectivity will see the GCC outbound travel and tourism market grow over the forecast horizon, long after the pandemic, and until international travel restrictions cool off.
