We need to market Bahrain as a promising tourist site that competes with the mighty tourism growth of the countries around us.
The “Al -Kharraf” health revealed that the sea strengthened its tourism presence between the Arab Gulf states, as it succeeded in diversifying the sources of its income from tourism, as it witnessed an increase in visitors by 72% and mentioned the report that touched on the latest statistics attached to the tourist The world and the world -class tourism organizations for the United Nations, “other Gulf countries have succeeded in diversifying their sources of tourism, as the percentage of visitors to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia increased by 69.6%.” Al -Taqer confirmed that it is despite the atmosphere in the Arab Gulf states, such as Qatar, as it turned into a prosperous tourist destination, as it received millions of tourists with a raising of 138% from 2019, which makes it the fastest global growth, superior to international tourist countries such as Norway, Malta, Mauritius and Jamaica thanks to the diversity of diversity Museums, hotels and global restaurants »End.
Not to mention the UAE, especially Dubai, we are among these tourist whales with its great financial capabilities.
We have an advantage, which is our capital and (our Yimna), that is, our taste that can attract investors, not the shepherds, which is our heritage and our history. Bahrain offers this resource with authenticity with a real historical depth, this is what distinguishes Bahrain from the rest of our competitors, so we have to employ it better.
We created beautiful ideas last year the Nations of Muharraq and Retro Manama and even the market of farmers and museum nights and others .. We have to develop these ideas in a way that we can market them as more investment projects than beautiful events that attract tourists only and based on “shepherds”, we must think of sustainability so the state does not think about the direct return only for its budget Fadia and profitable, visitor numbers as one of the investment attraction points, that is, we have to expand the scope of thinking to make tourism an attraction for investors, and not only an attraction for tourists.
Let us make the next six months, especially to prepare the investment environment in the tourism sector, by legislation and laws with procedures and measures with facilities and stimuli, with banking financing.
We need to diversify its activities for the past year, so the pioneers feel that they are promised in a new way, and we are confident that, just as these large numbers have attracted, praise be to God last year, expected to attract more after its reputation as an activity in the Gulf states, as well as Retro Manama and the farmers market and all activities are active in moderate atmosphere, and they are external not in halls and closed places, to add to it even the beach events in Muharraq The skill and the Gulf of Bahrain in Manama and the Jabour Beach, the atmosphere still allows this, which leads us to the Hawar Islands project, which is prepared as a location, but its operation is not worthy of it and is not commensurate with its capabilities, beauty and the cost of its development.
We need “operators” for all of these facilities and events. We need investors, not sponsors, and in a way that can increase their polarization capabilities and thus increase their income and contribution to our economy, as this is one of the most important non -oil sectors that can transfer us to another. Half the next year, and the atmosphere will be moderated from October to April, and it is supposed to start a busy tourism season targeting groups other than the summer tourism categories associated with school holidays.
Jonah moderate in the next stage is considered a moderate summer for some areas in the sense of even marine and beach tourism facilities that can still attract that category. The bottom line is that it is our opportunity to raise the percentage of the tourism sector contribution in our economy only. We only have to expand our fund and our ideas outside that fund.
