Not exactly what I heard. Oil and pearls are no.1 and Arab tourism is no. 2. The monarchy spent tons of money to bring about the F1 race. It's their loss in income, or repayment of debt. I'm sure it could be absorbed in a fairly short time.
Meanwhile, the Arab tourists will flock there all year long. The race is 3 days.
I'd be worried about the other 362.
