Investing in ports in developing the economy of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (With reference to tourism activity)

الملخص

Abstract:

Investments in the ports of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries contribute to diversifying exports of goods, services, and tourism. However, the oil and gas sector remains the backbone of these economies, as port investments help develop the economies of coastal nations located along seas and oceans. Therefore, maritime trade exchanges and tourism activities are among the key drivers of the national economy, with increased investments in ports enhancing commercial and tourist maritime activities. Ports serve various functions, including receiving and exporting oil and gas containers, transporting diverse goods, and serving individuals. Historically, ports in the Arabian Gulf region have invested in importing and exporting goods from countries like China and India. Thus, the development of ports plays a pivotal role in boosting trade and tourism activities by increasing investments in modernizing port infrastructure. Additionally, ports provide necessary services to incoming and outgoing ships, including tourist vessels, such as loading and unloading using advanced equipment, which saves time and enhances efficiency..
