Outbound tourism is the travel done by nationals of one country to another for leisure, business, or other purposes. It encompasses a wide range of travel-related activities, including adventure travel, medical travel, business travel, and visiting friends and relatives (VFR). Outbound tourism is being driven by several causes, such as rising disposable incomes, globalization, improved connectivity via air travel, and greater awareness of various cultures and destinations.

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a detrimental effect on the tourist sector in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) due to the significant shift in traveler choices and behaviors. The travel ban, border closures, and lockdowns that were implemented globally to halt the virus’s spread resulted in a major decline in the outbound tourism sector for the Gulf Cooperation Council. The governments’ tight travel restrictions, quarantine guidelines, and alerts caused a dramatic drop in the amount of people leaving the region to visit abroad.
