Riyadh, October (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز 15 اكتوبر 2025ء) The policies, developed in collaboration with relevant government agencies, aim to increase citizens' contribution to the tourism sector and provide stimulating job opportunities, including leadership roles and positions for recent graduates, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030.
The new regulations, which cover all activities licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, impose several obligations on tourism establishments. Facilities must register all employees within the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development's systems before commencing work.
Employee contracts—including contractual, seconded, or seasonal—must be documented via the Ajeer platform or other approved platforms.
Establishments with multiple licensed branches must register employees specifically against the facility file linked to each tourism license.
All tourism hospitality facilities are required to have a Saudi receptionist present during working hours, reinforcing the deeply rooted values of Saudi hospitality.
Outsourcing or assigning positions subject to Saudization decisions to entities or workers outside the Kingdom is prohibited. Such work must be outsourced to establishments licensed by the Ministry of Tourism or licensed to assign Saudis by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development.
The ministry emphasized that compliance with these policies will be strictly monitored, and penalties will be applied to all violators in cooperation with relevant government agencies.
