Sands Resorts Macao, Asia’s premier integrated luxury destination, has been announced as the Platinum Sponsor of the Kingdom Business & Luxury Travel (KBLT) Congress 2025, an exclusive B2B gathering scheduled to take place in Riyadh from 15–16 September 2025.
Saudi Arabia’s outbound travel market is experiencing exceptional growth, with spending surging to SAR 103.8 billion (USD $27.7 billion) and forecast to reach 11.6 million outbound trips by 2025. With high-net-worth Saudi travellers averaging USD $9,200 per trip, there is a significant appetite for five-star hospitality, bespoke experiences, curated cultural journeys, and wellness-driven itineraries.
Home to nine interconnected luxury properties, 24 Forbes Five-Star hotels—the highest global concentration for the third consecutive year—and 19 Michelin-starred restaurants, Sands Resorts Macao continues to redefine luxury travel in Asia. With direct flights from Riyadh to Hong Kong followed by a seamless 45-minute bridge transfer, the resort offers Saudi visitors unrivalled convenience and access to one of the world’s most celebrated destinations.
