I do not see how Saudi Arabia can promote itself as a tourist destination, unless you mean Mecca pilgrimage for muslims who want to do a bit of sightseeing. Saudi Arabia is not open to non-muslims and is hostile to anyone who is not muslim. As for antiquities, where? Saudi Arabia is a desert there is nothing to see. ETN your credibility is on the line here.
