Kuwait should develop tourism sector, hospitality industry

Kuwait should develop its tourism sector and hospitality industry to attract more international visitors or lose them forever, says Jassim Al-Saddah, an architect by profession and an advocate for changing the ‘game plan’ for Kuwait tourism sector. Al-Saddah was reacting on the news report which ranked Kuwait as the fourth ‘unfreindliest country’ in the world for tourists which was reported in the international media last week. 

“First and foremost, we don’t have the tourism authority to look after the standards of tourism facilities here-that if have in Kuwait. So definitely, we are not supposed to be rated by international organizations simply by saying we are unfriendly to foreigners. That is unacceptable because if that so we shouldn’t welcome any nationalities here to work. Expatriate communities here are bigger than locals so why to rate us unfriendly country,” Al-Saddah asked.
