They have enough money to invest in stuff other than oil and continue to make money. In fact they have already been doing this. But why on earth do they think tourism is a good idea? I assume no one wants to vacation in a place where you can’t drink, or fuck, or show skin, or a million other things their backwards laws and culture don’t allow. And they must know that.
Well, look at Dubai for what the Saudis want to copy. It's a financial hub, and a travel hub with the Emirates Airlines, plus a bunch of cheap data centers now.
And yes, luxury tourism, claiming the "world's first 7-star hotel" which I don't even know what that means, except for $$$.
The Saudis want copy that all, and in doing so displace the Emirates like the Emirates displaced Bahrain.
