INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Tour operators were interested in a number of opportunities, typically involving a 10 or 11 night itinerary that includes 2 or 3 nights in the extraordinary Old City of Sana'a, which has more than 6,000 houses dating from before the 11th Century, followed by visits to two or three other gateway destinations, such as Aden, which is full of British colonial history, Shibam, the ‘Manhattan of the Desert' with its 16th Century mudbrick skycrapers that literally rise out of the sand, and Zabid, which is an archaeologist's paradise.
- There is now a real chance to support the growth of tourism in Yemen as a tool of economic development and encourage British visitors to contribute to Yemen's development by going to enjoy Yemen's magnificent cultural and natural heritage.
- Other European tour operators from new markets in Scandinavia and Central and Eastern Europe are also keen to develop programs and are not restricted by their governments' official travel advisories, unlike in the UK, where the Travel Advice for Yemen is described by the British-Yemeni Society's tour director Alan D'Arcy as “overcautious”.
