| description | While it will require further political
stability and security, tourism in Iraq stands to be a major
growth sector. The Iraqi tourism sector is currently
underdeveloped and in a state of neglect, due to decades of
war, closed regimes and recurrent instability and
insecurity. However, as Iraq continues to develop and
stabilizes, it can begin to meet its tremendous potential as
a global tourist destination, and gain the associated
economic benefits. A more developed tourism sector in Iraq
will play an important role in diversifying Iraq's
economy and providing new private sector jobs, both in major
cities and beyond. Iraq's construction sector will also
benefit directly from the building of hotels, museums,
restaurants, and other attractions as well as needed
infrastructure enhancements. In addition to construction
activity, the private sector can manage, operate and
maintain sector-specific infrastructure, as well as provide
job opportunities as tour guides, operators and in travel
agencies and beyond. With increased interest in Iraq's
historic and archaeological sites, Iraq can further improve
its archeological capacity with skills needed in excavation,
restoration, and reconstruction work. |
