Kuwait Is An Emerging Tourism Powerhouse
Kuwait has all the necessary potentials for ameliorating the tourism sector and becoming a preferred tourism destination for Arabian Gulf and international travelers, travel experts concurred. In separate interviews with KUNA on the sidelines of the 31st session of the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, the experts pointed to stability, economic development, and financial resilience as some of the potentials Kuwait has. They commended the government's endeavors and efforts, especially during the current period, to overhaul the tourism infrastructure, by increasing the number of luxury hotels, world-class restaurants, and entertainment facilities. They also underlined the need for well-studied plans and efforts to promote tourism destinations and facilities to attract more visitors from all over the world.
“Kuwait has a distinguished geographical location, and a diverse and rich culture and history,” Mohammad Mustafa, a Dubai-based travel expert, told KUNA. He pointed out that the development of the tourism sector in Kuwait would help achieve sustainable growth in tourism revenues, boost the national economy and create job opportunities for nationals. “Kuwait could also become a leading tourism destination in the region and attract more visitors and tourism investors,” Mustafa said.
For his part, CEO of the Golden Globe Company Khaled Abuzaid said that Kuwait has well-established infrastructure and highly qualified national cadres in all economic and investment sectors who are able to develop the tourism sector to be able to compete with regional rivals. He underlined the pivotal role of the tourism sector in strengthening the national economy. Abuzaid called for preserving and developing the cultural and environmental heritage to boost the national identity of the state and attract more tourists. He also encouraged the government to introduce tourism-focused educational and training programs to improve the efficiency of travel agencies and workers and ensure the provision of high-level services to tourists.
Meanwhile, Director General of Lebanon Radio Asaad Marwan told KUNA that Kuwait “possesses great potential and opportunities to achieve a remarkable tourism renaissance”. He called on the private and public sectors in Kuwait to cooperate to turn this goal into a reality on the ground for the benefit of the national economy and society in general. He urged the Kuwaiti government to launch initiatives and programs to encourage investment in this sector and facilitate related procedures. He also called for diversifying programs for different kinds of tourism to attract different types of tourists.
