Saudi Arabia introduces 177 standards for tourist camps
Original source: Watanksa

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Tourism has approved 177 standards for classifying tourist camps, covering licensing, safety, services, and equipment. The standards define camps as facilities providing tents, equipped plots, motorhomes, and caravans, with requirements for fencing, sanitary facilities, and a reception area. They also mandate food services, including local dishes, and online booking. Plot sizes range from 30 to 60 square meters, with an additional 30 square meters for caravans, and running water must be available at 50% of plots.
