However, this reliance also poses a cybersecurity threat to hotels according to Al Hamli and Sobaih (2023). The expansion of the tourism and hospitality sectors within Saudi Arabia under vision 2030 also serves to explain the increased vulnerability to cyber threats. Statement of the Problem The hotel industry is among the most vulnerable to cyber threats because of the kind of information that it processes. A cyber security attack can hinder business activities in a hotel and negatively affect the organization’s reputation, resulting in considerable losses and low customer confidence (Almaiah et al., 2022). The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of such occurrences on the hotels’ business in Saudi Arabia.49enCybersecurity in HospitalityHotel IndustryData ProtectionGuest PrivacyCyber ThreatsSaudi ArabiaVision 2030Tourism and HospitalityDigital TransformationBusiness ContinuityThesis
