Abstract

Residents agreement toward tourism development is crucial for the tourism industry to succeed. In 2013, the Saudi Arabia government formed the 2030 vision, which aims to invest in tourism and minimize the exporting of oil as a source of income. Many tourism investments in Saudi Arabia have begun specifically in the city of Jeddah. The purpose of this study is to identify the residents’ perception toward the proposed tourism development in Jeddah. Unlike most of the study, the residents’ perception will be measured before the tourism development plan takes a place.
