Saudi Developer: Alcohol Ban Won't Hinder Tourism Growth

Imagine Saudi Arabia wants to have lots of visitors from other countries, like a big vacation spot.

A man named John, who builds fancy hotels there, says that even though they don't allow alcohol, people will still want to come.

He explains that visitors are more interested in new and exciting things to do, and also in having healthier vacations.

Saudi Arabia is already making big changes, like opening up for tourists and planning huge events like the World Cup.

They are investing lots of money to build new places for people to stay and visit.

Even though most people can't drink alcohol, John believes the amazing experiences and the chance to visit holy places like Mecca will be enough to make tourism a big success.

He said that many tourists are already coming, even more than they expected so soon.
