The Ministry of Tourism has cautioned against responding to any website or email that impersonates the Ministry or the tourism ecosystem in advertising “fake” job opportunities. The Ministry denies any affiliation with these deceptive advertisements and reiterates that its official website and social media platforms serve as the sole authorized channels for legitimate job postings. The Ministry’s statement has confirmed reports of several malicious platforms falsely claiming to offer employment opportunities within the Saudi Tourism Ecosystem.
