Prince Sultan bin Salman, Secretary General of the Supreme Commission for Tourism (SCT), signed yesterday a landmark agreement with Transport Minister Dr. Jabara Al-Seraisry on constructing roads leading to the Kingdom's tourist resorts and attractions. Prince Sultan said the agreement was significant as, according to a study, 84 percent of tourists used roads last year to reach their destinations. "Transportation is an important part of tourism," he said after the accord was signed. During the past five years, the SCT has signed 26 cooperation agreements as part of its efforts to promote domestic tourism. Of these accords 13 were with regional governorates and the rest with ministries.
