Executive Summary

The GCC region is rich in hydrocarbon assets and is home to the largest proven crude oil reserves in the world. The region ranks as the largest producer as well as exporter of petroleum and plays a leading role in the global petroleum market and OPEC in particular. GCC countries account for 41% of the total OPEC oil reserves and 55% of the total OPEC crude oil production. However, with a widely shared strategic goal of diversifying away from the hydrocarbon sector, the GCC has been focusing on non-oil sectors. The hospitality sector (which is influenced by travel & tourism) is one such sector that can assist in diversification of the GCC economies. Expansion of private sector through reforms, investment of oil revenues in local non-oil economy, attracting higher international tourist arrivals and hosting of international events can drive the growth in the hospitality industry.
