I don't know why anyone would want to spend a single penny on the country and subsequently contribute to their economy.

If they made this resort and then nobody ever went there simply because they hold a grudge against the country then it will never change. Change has to happen slowly over time and Saudi Arabia is slowly but surely changing. As far as I'm concerned when a country does something positive, we should acknowledge that and support them to do more positive things.

It is repressive, human and women's rights is a joke to them, they are the worst abusers of both.

Good news but I am doubtful whether muslim women will also be allowed to bikinis.

It's a matter of them not wanting to wear a bikini.

Exactly, holding a grudge is just unhealthy. If a country is attempting to modernise and change we should support them.
