Minister of Tourism Ahmed Al-Khatib said, while telling some of the details of the tourism file in the Kingdom according to Vision 2030, that the Crown Prince, when he assigned him to do so, was wondering why we have all the distinguished qualitative ingredients for tourism, and yet we do not have tourism in its true sense, and he adds that the Crown Prince directed him to study the file and present it Results within three months, and when the crown prince sets a period of three months, he means what he says, meaning that there is no opportunity for any official to be complacent about the time factor. Princess Haifa bint Muhammad, Deputy Minister of Tourism, said that the ministry, after extensive studies, identified the possible target for tourist visits to the Kingdom in 2030 at seventy-five million visits, and while presenting the strategy to His Highness, while the princess emphasizes this number and tries to explain how they reached it, he told her: The target is 100 million visits, and he left the meeting, meaning that less than this number cannot be accepted. Commenting on this, the Minister of Tourism says that we set the numbers and results according to our personal judgments, but the Crown Prince knows our capabilities and capabilities more than us, and therefore he motivates us to present the maximum that can be achieved and reach it.
Here we would like to refer to an aspect that is considered one of the most important features of the leadership personality, which is challenging time by stimulating the determination of all officials, and knowing their true capabilities and energies that allow achieving achievements that they may consider difficult within the specified time frame. Here is the difference between the strategic leader who is supportive, motivating, and sacrificing all capabilities to achieve the goals, and the official who relies on the saying that it is not possible to be better than it was, and what is not achieved now, time is sufficient to achieve it in the future.
The Crown Prince was not exaggerating when he said we have a mighty people, and here he is, under his leadership, achieving the impossible.
