The insights, that aim to help businesses have a greater understanding of their customers, were revealed at the Google Marketing Live event in Riyadh, a flagship event showcasing Google\u2019s latest ads product innovations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>An analysis conducted by IPSOS and commissioned by Google, found that people in Saudi Arabia are diversifying expressions of pride in local culture and heritage; with 54% of those surveyed indicating that they express their pride by&nbsp;&nbsp;buying and using locally made products. The survey also&nbsp;&nbsp;found that over half of those surveyed attended local cultural events and&nbsp;&nbsp;almost 60% have traveled domestically for leisure purposes, reflecting a growing interest in local tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most popular local destinations were Abha, Neom and Taif, with a quarter of respondents saying they choose destinations based on the beauty of natural landscapes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, there is a growing interest in local entertainment events. For example, more than 54% attended Saudi Seasons Festivals and 62% are likely to visit again next year. On the other hand, there seems to be a growing interest in music events and while only 48% attended the Jeddah World Festival, almost 60% said they are likely to visit it again over the next year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saudi consumers are also increasingly socially conscious &#8211; with 55% saying they will only buy brands that are socially responsible and 57% saying they would pay more for environmentally responsible products. Moreover, 52% mentioned youth skills development as the most important cause businesses should contribute to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on the survey findings, Charbel Sarkis, Director of Saudi Arabia and MENA Retail at Google said \u201cThe research reflects Saudi consumers&#8217; enthusiasm in supporting local businesses and tourism. We also see growing global interest in Saudi Arabia as a travel destination. In fact, according to Google data, global searches for Saudi Arabia as a travel destination increased by over 160% in 2022. We hope that these insights and Google&#8217;s different tools can help advertisers to connect with their audience and to grow their business&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey findings are in line with trends seen around the globe as more people look to support local tourism and urge businesses to become more socially and environmentally responsible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google-commissioned research reveals 11 June 2023 (Riyadh)&nbsp;New Google commissioned research into consumer behavior in Saudi Arabia revealed growing interest in local tourism and expressions of pride in Saudi culture and heritage.
