Saudi Arabia will host the 22nd World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) Global Summit in Riyadh from November 29 to December 2 this year. It was announced at the global summit’s closing session in Manila, according to a statement.

“We are excited to welcome the world to experience the excitement and the energy of Saudi (Arabia).
