Saudi’s national tourism brand, ‘Saudi, Welcome to Arabia’, is announcing “Where Winter Lights Up” – the second phase of the iconic global Saudi tourism campaign “This Land is Calling”. Encouraging travelers from around the world to unearth Saudi’s legends and wonders this winter season, “Where Winter Lights Up”, is an invitation to embark on a journey of discovery across several destinations: Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla, and the Red Sea. The event calendar will run from October 2024 through the end of the first quarter of 2025.

Skyros Island, renowned for its natural beauty, tranquil atmosphere, and rich cultural heritage, has decisively rejected a proposed large-scale tourism expansion. The island’s rugged landscapes and serene beaches, perfect for holistic retreats, were at risk of being overshadowed by such developments. This decision preserves Skyros’ unique charm—one of the reasons Skyros Holidays chose the island as the ideal home for retreats fostering personal growth, creativity, and well-being in harmony with nature.
