This year\u2019s ranking reflects the powerful momentum building across the sector, driven by bold vision, government strategy, and record-breaking investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To curate the list, Forbes Middle East evaluated leaders across the public and private sectors based on the scale of their organizations\u2014measured by revenues, asset values, hotel keys, and number of passengers\u2014as well as their experience, achievements, and overall impact on the tourism landscape. All ranked individuals are based in the MENA region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman &amp; Chief Executive of Emirates Airline &amp; Group, tops the 2025 list for the fourth consecutive year. In the 2024\/25 financial year, the group recorded $39.6 billion in revenues\u2014a 6% increase compared to the previous year\u2014and holds $49.7 billion in assets. He is followed by Fahd Hamidaddin, CEO of the Saudi Tourism Authority, and Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, Group CEO of Qatar Airways Group, who round off the top three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Executives on this year\u2019s list represent 10 countries across the region. The U.A.E. is home to 49 leaders, followed by 24 in Saudi Arabia, seven in Egypt, and five in Oman. Jordan and Morocco each have four representatives, while Qatar and Bahrain have three each. Kuwait and Tunisia are represented by one leader each: Kuwait Airways and the Tunisian National Tourist Office (ONTT), respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among the 101 listees, 15 are Emiratis, 14 are Saudis, and nine are British, making up the top three nationalities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tourism leaders across the region have helped usher in a new era of historic firsts. In June 2025, Bander Almohanna, CEO and Managing Director of flynas, led the company to complete a $1.1 billion IPO, becoming the first airline to list on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul). In April 2024, Fernando Eiroa, CEO of Dubai Holding Entertainment, launched the world\u2019s first Real Madrid-themed park, Real Madrid World.
