Market and Demand Analysis
Market and Demand Analysis
The culture and arts sector in Saudi Arabia is experiencing significant growth, driven by Vision 2030, which supports cultural activities as both economic and tourism enablers.
There is a rising number of local and international visitors attending heritage and art events, with increasing interest in experiences that offer authentic local flavor.
There is a noticeable lack of medium and small-scale events that give lesser-known regions opportunities for exposure and cultural interaction.
Cultural festivals contribute to supporting artisans, farmers, and local chefs, making them both economic and social drivers.
These festivals can be organized in coordination with local authorities (tourism, culture, municipalities) to support the community.

Financial Indicators
Financial Indicators
The initial capital required to establish a small cultural festival organizing company is expected to range between SAR 950,000 and 1.5 million. This includes setup costs, equipment, marketing, and operational team salaries.
The cost of organizing a single small cultural festival ranges from SAR 150,000 to 300,000, depending on the festival’s size, location, and duration.
Expected revenues per festival may range from SAR 300,000 to 600,000, generated from ticket sales, sponsorships, vendor booths, and services.
Accordingly, the project could achieve a return on investment (ROI) of 30% to 45% annually, with a capital payback period estimated at 2.5 to 3 years.
After full operation, the projected net profit margin is expected to range between 25% and 35%, depending on the number of annual events and the targeted region.
