Inzerillo acknowledged the challenges, particularly in terms of manpower, but expressed confidence in Saudi Arabia's young and highly educated population. Comparing the accelerated pace of transformation, he noted that what Singapore achieved in 60 years and the Emiratis accomplished in 30 years in tourism, the Crown Prince aims to achieve in just 15 years.
Looking ahead, Inzerillo highlighted the ongoing projects, including NEOM and the Red Sea, emphasizing that Diriyah will be globally recognized by 2030. The city of Riyadh is also expected to undergo significant transformation, becoming one of the prominent G20 cities worldwide under the Crown Prince's leadership.
