LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- “The addition of Yemen as an ICTP member adds strength to our growing membership in the Middle East, where tourism as a driver of economic development perhaps has the greatest potential to promote peace and prosperity.
- It is the vision of the ministry to promote responsible tourism as a driver of sustainable economic growth, especially for women and young people in rural areas, and Yemen deserves more balanced travel advice.
- It also brings into play a country with the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage sites in Arabia, stretching from Shibam ‘the Manhattan of the Desert' to Socotra ‘the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean.
