Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Interior, represented by the General Directorate of Passports, in cooperation with Expo 2030 Riyadh Company, has launched a special stamp to mark the Kingdom's receipt of the flag of the Bureau International des Expositions for the event that Riyadh will host in 2030, from October 1, 2030, to March 31, 2031.
The stamp will be available to travelers arriving in the Kingdom through King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, according to a post on the Facebook page of Saudi Arabia's General Directorate of Passports.
Expo 2030 Riyadh, scheduled to take place from October 1, 2030, to March 31, 2031, will enhance Riyadh's appeal to global businesses and companies, helping to consolidate Riyadh's position as one of the world's fastest-transforming capitals, combining the concepts of sustainability, connectivity and quality of life. Riyadh won the right to host Expo 2030 in November 2023 in the first round of voting.
The total contribution of Expo 2030 Riyadh and its facilities to the Kingdom's gross domestic product during the construction phases is expected to reach nearly SAR 241 billion, with the number of jobs created expected to reach 171,000 direct and indirect jobs, while the contribution to GDP during the operational phase will be about SAR 21 billion.
