“…Another significant challenge facing the medical and wellness tourism sector in Saudi Arabia lies in the stringent regulations governing pharmaceutical standards within the country. Saudi Arabia maintains rigorous standards for the production, distribution, and importation of pharmaceutical products, ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of medications available to its populace [30]. While these regulations are essential for safeguarding public health and maintaining the integrity of the healthcare system, they can pose challenges for medical tourists seeking specialized treatments or medications not readily available in their home countries.…”

Medical and wellness tourism has emerged as a pivotal sector with significant economic implications globally, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study delves into the landscape of Saudi Arabia’s medical and wellness tourism, recognizing its importance as a key player in the tourism industry. The study aims to elevate this sector to new heights on the global stage by employing the Business Model Canvas (BMC) as a strategic tool. BMC allows for a comprehensive analysis of the medical tourism industry in Saudi Arabia, breaking down key elements across its nine blocks: key partners, key activities, key resources, value propositions, customer segments, channels, customer relationships, cost structure, and revenue streams. The results of this study shed light on the unique selling proposition (USP) as a crucial strategic step for Saudi Arabia to distinguish itself and enhance its position in the international medical tourism arena. By identifying and maximizing the unique aspects within each BMC block, the study presents a roadmap for Saudi Arabia, navigating the challenges and capitalizing on the potential of the medical and wellness tourism sector. This research serves as a guide, emphasizing the strategic importance of a well-defined business model to shape the future of medical and wellness tourism in Saudi Arabia and establish a prominent global presence.

One of the most difficult problems in successful organizations is company sustainability, which is constantly one of the key worries of top managers. Total quality management (TQM), in particular, is regarded as one of the most crucial measures of sustainability, underscoring the significance of quality management in enterprises. Without also putting an emphasis on consumers, leadership, and process management, sustainability cannot fulfill its key sub-parameters—including "economic and social sustainability"—by relying just on the value of "knowledge creation and knowledge sharing". Accordingly, this study aims to examine the effects of TQM through Knowledge management (KM) as a mediator on company sustainability (CS) in various reputable pharmaceutical companies in Saudi Arabia. Data was gathered from managers, supervisors, and deputies of different departments from various organizational levels through a questionnaire. Applications of the software SPSS were used to analyze the data. The findings of this study verify KM and its sub-variables, including "knowledge creation and sharing" in addition to showing the beneficial benefits of TQM on businesses' sustainability. Additionally, they confirm that "knowledge creation and knowledge sharing" in organizations have a mediating role in the effects of TQM on the CS.
