РАЗВИТИЕ АВИАЦИОННОГО И МОРСКОГО ТРАНСПОРТА В ССАГПЗ В КОНТЕКСТЕ ПЕРЕХОДА К УСТОЙЧИВОМУ РАЗВИТИЮ
This article is devoted to the transition of the Arab countries
according to the new concept of sustainable development (SD) in tourism, sea and
air transport. The challenges associated with the transition to SD implemented in
state long-term state strategies in the Arab countries. The surge of interest to this
concept of development was also due to the release of 17 UN SDGs in 2015, which
replaced the Millennium Development Goals.
The general questions of the development of GCC countries at the beginning
of the 21 st century and the main prerequisites for creating large infrastructure
facilities in the region owing to the increase of tourist inflow, especially the
increasing number of Muslim pilgrims coming to Saudi Arabia, raised at the
beginning of the article. There is a brief overview of the national air carriers and
the system of large air hubs in the UAE and Qatar and data on SDG Index No. 9
“Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure” in the GCC countries for 2017 and 2018.
The article concludes with the results of the investigation on the effect that
the Persian Gulf monarchies have achieved in the field of passenger and cargo
transportation as well as the problems of operating aviation infrastructure facilities
in the context of the transition to SD. It is also shown that the CONVID-19
pandemic and economic downturn would definitely cause the cessation of air travel
in several countries in the spring of 2020.
