During the past three decades, Arab Gulf countries have witnessed a remarkable construction progress in all service, industrial and infrastructural facilities, thereby stimulating the growth of tourism in several Gulf countries that have started to encourage and support the creation of tourist projects and have called for local, regional and foreign investments to establish productive partnerships in the field of tourism.

In view of the importance of integrating all efforts made by authorities and states and incorporating them into a joint activity aimed at creating real investment opportunities, the Gulf Tourism Committee under the Federation of GCC Chambers of Commerce has organized this Forum to create a communication channel among officials, concerned parties and investors, thereby setting up a joint action to boost tourism investments in the region.
