SCT is a government authority in Saudi Arabia responsible for tourism and heritage governance. Established in 2000, it is based in Abū Nakhlah, in the Riyadh region. Historically, the Antiquities and Museums agency operated under its umbrella, and the organization later adopted the Saudi Commission for Tourism & Antiquities designation to reflect an expanded mandate. Operating within the framework of Saudi Arabia’s tourism vision, the commission seeks to develop tourism in a way that aligns with Islamic values, traditional hospitality, and the Kingdom’s social and cultural realities. Its work centers on sustainable policies that balance economic feasibility with environmental and cultural authenticity, aiming to produce benefits for citizens through tourism growth. In practice, the organization serves the government and society by coordinating policy, planning, and governance for both tourism and heritage activities.
