Weeks ago, during my visit to the Muharraq market, I met a Spanish family in one of the Bahraini desserts shops, they were dazzled as they taste the sweets and try to dismantle its components, as if they were re -discovering a precious treasure, I asked the lady about her opinion in Bahrain, and what distinguishes her from other countries that she visited, he said simply, “Here I feel that I am between my family, and I am in a strange country.” In particular, I hung in my mind for a long time, because it summarizes the meaning of tourism in us; Humanitarian experience before it is a travel journey.
On the International Day of Tourism, which was celebrated by the year, under the title “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation”, I would like to talk away from the language of numbers and data, although tourism in Bahrain contributes increasingly to the GDP and opens qualitative job opportunities for citizens, but the true value of this sector is manifested in being a human bridge, and a window through which Bahrain offers the most beautiful of what it has; The warmth of its human being, the depth of its history, and the richness of its culture.
Bahrain not only its tourist position on propaganda campaigns, but also on a heritage that has been rooted since the Dilmun civilization, while Bahrain Castle, Siyadi Beit, Manama Market, Dialogue Islands, and even popular cafes that smell of cardamom and saffron .. all constitute an integrated painting that makes the visitor live an authentic experience.
But the reality today confirms that Bahrain keeps pace with the times in all its details; An advanced investment environment, flexible legal and financial legislation, and an advanced technological infrastructure, all made the tourism sector an attractive environment for global capital, the investor who chooses Bahrain not only bets on a strategic location, but also on stability, flexibility and human capacity qualified to manage a growing sector.
Also, the most important characteristic of Bahrain is that it is a safe family destination, at a time when the tourist searches for reassurance before anything, as Bahrain provides a unique experience; A small multi -options for recreational and cultural options, surrounded by a halo of security and safety, along with a friendly environment, and this makes it different from other destinations, and gives it a special place for families and visitors looking for tourism that combines comfort and heritage.
For all of this, I see that Bahrain is not only marketing itself as a tourist destination, but it writes the story of a small country in geography is great in the impact, so the next will certainly be more beautiful, because Bahrain does not sell to tourists a hotel room or a flight ticket only; Rather, it gives him an unforgettable human story.

A word of thanks due to the Ministry of Tourism and the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, for the efforts they are making in developing this sector, and enhancing the Kingdom’s position as a leading destination in the region, sincere efforts that are not translated into numbers or projects only; Rather, in a smile of a tourist and an opportunity for a Bahraini young man, an investment finds an incubator environment for growth.
