Can tourism in the Middle East be difficult for political reasons, or is it the weather, or else?
the answer is simple political instability , social conservatism and lack of strategy making to attract tourists, Dubai had done a great job to attract tourists but still its a destination for a group of people. We should advertise the middle east as a peaceful open minded destination for tourists, Especially in the emerging markets like China .
Missing casinos & nightlife is one of the biggest reason why travellers choosing other destination over Dubai & Middle east. Being a poor country Thailand has done remarkable progress in tourism despite slowdown in economy & with less developed infrastructure.The less exotic places is also one of the reason. Tourist wants to enjoy the freedom where in middle east he feels little scared of laws.
