As part of the third Saudi Tourism Forum in Riyadh, the King Abdulaziz Public Library (KAPL) has launched the Thara Saudi and Athar initiatives, Arab News reported.

KAPL will introduce several programs focused on cultural tourism through Thara Saudi.

Meanwhile, Athar represents an interactive platform inspired by one of the pioneering national documentation projects, “The Encyclopedia of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

“The Thara Saudi Arabia is the initiative through which the library seeks to provide a distinctive cultural tourism experience that reflects the rich and diverse history and culture of the Kingdom and aims to present a sustainable vision that contributes to enhancing local culture in global languages,” General Supervisor of the King Abdulaziz Public Library Faisal bin Abdulrahman bin Muammar said.

Muammar also added that this initiative is a translation of the efforts of 40 years of cultural and cognitive work. Thus, they created a national legacy and a sustainable impact.

As for the Athar initiative, KAPL seeks to introduce the Kingdom in an unprecedented way through the historical monuments and landmarks mentioned in the encyclopedia of the Kingdom.

Launched to further foster the Kingdom’s position as a global destination for cultural tourism, the initiative mirrors the Kingdom’s extraordinary diversity.

Held from January 7-9 at the Riyadh Front, the Saudi Tourism Forum provides the KAPL with an opportunity to foster cultural awareness as well as support the Saudi national heritage.
