Saudi Arabia hopes to attract a million visitors a year with the help
of a new tourism visa.


Make that 999,999

Just male tourists? I can't think of a single female who would
voluntarily
go there....



Not only women, but also Jews and gays...the latter two groups have
large amounts of disposable income, and women are often the deciding
factor of where a family will holiday.


Last time I checked, Saudi Arabia wouldn't issue visas to Jews, so there's
no "voluntarily going" about it.
