The Middle East's tourism industry is emerging as a standout performer in the global post-pandemic recovery, defying economic uncertainties worldwide, states a recent HSBC report. With Saudi Arabia, the region's largest Arab economy, and the bustling UAE at its heart, the Middle East boasts a distinctive accomplishment - a "total recovery" in terms of tourist arrivals during Q1 2023, as outlined in the new Jet, Set, Go! research publication by the bank.

The first quarter of 2023 witnessed a remarkable 15% surge in tourist arrivals compared to pre-pandemic 2019 figures. This robust rebound is a testament to the resilience and appeal of the region's tourism offerings, defying global headwinds that persist due to the pandemic's aftershocks.

Europe, which secured the second position in terms of recovery, pales in comparison to the Middle East's achievement. Europe managed to reach 90% of its pre-pandemic visitor levels, while the Middle East not only matched but exceeded its 2019 numbers.

The Middle East's tourism resurgence is a testament to the region's dynamic strategies, commitment to health and safety measures, and the attractiveness of its destinations. This rebound showcases the region's ability to adapt and innovate in the face of challenges, cementing its position as a key player on the global tourism stage.
