Current and future issues of tourism in the Arab region

The Arab region has always been a worldwide destination for tourism since ancient civilizations. Destinations such as Egypt, Iraq, and Palestine have received international visitors for thousands of years now. However, over the last few decades, thoughts about Arab tourism have been – to some extent – unclear, whether we are talking about the Arab region as a tourism destination or Arab tourists visiting international destinations. This webinar is trying to shed more light on Arab tourism from a local perspective.
