Through the ambitious Vision 2030, the Saudi government aims for more economic developments and the transition to a global economy that does not depend primarily on oil, but rather its sources vary between trade, tourism, investment, agriculture and manufacturing. Among the most important wealth that the Kingdom possesses is the diverse real estate wealth between residential, commercial, administrative and hotel properties. Real estate wealth in the Kingdom is one of the largest economic sectors, following the oil sector in size. The Kingdom aspires to develop the real estate sector and increase the size of the supply of real estate to meet the requirements of tourism and residence, which will increase in the coming period with the interest in tourism of all kinds in the Kingdom.
Strong experience in the tourism and hotel sector in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has a great reputation in religious and cultural tourism and has long and pioneering experiences in the field of receiving visitors to the two Holy Mosques and major entertainment and tourism seasons in the Kingdom’s cities.
Despite this, there is an ambitious aspiration for more by increasing the number of visitors to the Kingdom for Hajj and Umrah, as well as interest in cultural and recreational tourism, festival tourism and landscape tourism which resonates greatly due to the environmental and natural diversity of the Kingdom’s cities, including Hail, Najran, Dammam, Jeddah, Riyadh, and Diriyah.
The Kingdom includes thousands of historical sites, and six sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Increasing Demand for Hotel Properties in Saudi Arabia
Here a new challenge appears, which is the size of hotel rooms and apartments capable of accommodating the increasing numbers of tourists and visitors to the Kingdom. Therefore, the movement of construction and real estate development increases in tourist and coastal cities, and this appears in new high-end hotels and properties designated for rent. And like any economic challenge, good investment opportunities appear for those who seize them, and they are in daily rental properties, which are considered the preferred choice for Umrah and hajj pilgrims and visitors to the Kingdom for work or tourism, whose trip lasts several days or a few weeks at most.
Investing in Daily Rental Properties
Daily rental real estate is a quick and profitable investment for real estate owners residing in tourist cities, financial and business cities, and transit areas. The Kingdom is witnessing a great demand for apartments and hotel villas, especially those close to the two Holy Mosques, Mecca and Madina, and also real estate in financial and commercial cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah, in addition to cultural and tourist cities and cities such as Diriyah, Najran and others, which are considered global tourist destinations.
Study the Market before Choosing a Property for Investment
Choosing a property for daily rent for the purpose of investment requires a study of the market and the region to know the size of supply and demand and the capacity of rooms and hotel-style homes, which helps the investor choose an area with high demand that ensures that his property is occupied throughout the year.
The Saudi economic climate is encouraging for investment and employment, and Vision 2030 worked to overcome any obstacles or red tape that might slow down investment. Daily rental real estate investors should be familiar with the legal and administrative aspects regulating real estate rental in Saudi law to ensure a safe, legal investment that preserves the rights of the owner and the tenant. You can seek help from the expertise of real estate marketing companies such as Aqarmap in writing contracts and agreements and adhering to Saudi legal regulations.
Preparing the property for daily rent and competition
Investing in daily rental properties requires some additional costs, such as purchasing furniture, household electrical appliances, living supplies, and housing in the property. The more well-furnished your apartment is, the easier and faster it is to rent. You will also need to contract with a cleaning company or housekeeper to maintain and arrange the house after each tenant leaves and prepare the unit for the new tenant.
It is preferable to advertise your property for daily rent on the Internet and on marketing platforms and real estate search engines to facilitate customers’ access to you. Marketing studies show that most people searching for residential or tourist properties in the Kingdom resort to digital search.
