‘businesswire’ stated that the announcement was made at the inaugural TOURISE Summit in Riyadh, the world’s premier platform for shaping the future of global tourism.

Situated just 40 minutes from Riyadh, the state-of-the-art Riyadh Shooting Range and Entertainment Complex is located within Qiddiya City, the new global destination built entirely around the Power of Play.

‘businesswire’ further stated that located on a 457,000 sqm site it will feature a world-class Shooting Sport venue that complies with the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) standards. It will host international and national events and provide both professional and amateur shooting training facilities with professional and commercial ranges for pistol, rifle and shotgun disciplines.

The Entertainment Complex will also comprise wide range of experiences for the corporate events and families including paintball, airsoft, laser tag, and virtual shooting. The facility is anticipated to create more than 2,300 jobs and attract over 400,000 visitors annually.
