Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani directed today, Saturday, work on complete tourism projects and offering them as a single package.

The Prime Minister's Media Office stated in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the Prime Minister chaired a meeting dedicated to presenting a package of tourism projects planned to be established in the capital, Baghdad, and the rest of the governorates."

 The Prime Minister pointed out, according to the statement, that "tourism and its components are available in Iraq, and it can be transformed into a basic source in the non-oil economy, with the availability of opportunities, local need, and the desire of citizens to benefit from and enjoy modern, advanced, and environmentally friendly tourism facilities, as it represents a gateway to expanding the elements of attraction for incoming tourism from abroad."

The Prime Minister highlighted "the importance of investing in the opportunity of choosing Baghdad as the capital of Arab tourism for the year 2025, building attractive tourist and entertainment facilities, overcoming bureaucratic obstacles, and creating more suitable conditions to attract foreign investment in this sector."

The Prime Minister directed, according to the statement, "to work on maturing tourism projects and offering them as a single package, especially since developing this sector will contribute to strengthening and diversifying the national economy by activating vital sectors, including the tourism sector, which the government is keen to activate for the next stage, based on its government program."

The statement continued, "The meeting approved extending an invitation to a Spanish company specialized in tourism development in order to put projects related to this sector on track, as well as to develop the capabilities of specialized cadres in tourism and keep pace with the latest developments witnessed by this sector globally. 21 tourism projects were also reviewed, including hotels, resorts, sustainable forests, cities and entertainment complexes in Baghdad and various governorates, which provide the reasons for attraction, infrastructure and economic feasibility."
