Saudi Red Sea Authority (SRSA), in its 2025 Annual Report, highlighted a set of key achievements that reflect its continued progress in building a more regulated, efficient, and sustainable coastal tourism sector.
These efforts included developing regulatory frameworks, enhancing operational readiness, strengthening compliance, and supporting investors, in in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
These achievements build on SRSA’s approach to developing a sector founded on regulatory clarity, operational discipline, and institutional integration. For the first time in the Kingdom, SRSA issued the Beach Operators’ Requirements and Conditions, contributing to enhancing safety levels, protecting the environment, and improving the quality of the tourism experience.
As part of the same regulatory efforts, SRSA issued and renewed 26 coastal tourism licenses, supporting the regulation of coastal tourism activities and enabling their practice within clear frameworks. It also approved six operational models for coastal tourism activities, reinforcing unified practices and enhancing operational efficiency across the sector.
SRSA also launched the Kingdom’s first Introductory Guide to Coastal Tourism Activities, providing a unified reference for information, procedures, and requirements. The first edition of the guide focused on yacht-related activities. More
In the area of compliance, SRSA conducted 371 field visits to ensure compliance and promote awareness, supporting adherence to regulatory requirements and reinforcing practices that safeguard the safety of activities and the quality of services.
