After confirming the validity of the hypothesis that there are several determinants of tourism in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which have a positive impact on achieving sustainable development. The most important results of the study were that the determinants have a significant impact on tourism activity and have a long-term relationship for tourism investment, and many other determinants. From this we conclude that tourism activity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is linked to the performance of differents sectors, and other areas remain effective as well, due to its economic and social role.
