I would like to thank you on this great Yemeni media news paper I receive this newspaper in the UK it is free because it is a late edition of about a week. I would like to use this opportunity to praise his Excellency president Ali Abdullah Saleh for his contribution to the Yemeni people and Arab world. The president will be missed considerably when he steps down I hope he can still contribute to government. I am concerned on the future role model of Yemen. I hope he can progress on the president's work. I think Yemenis biggest problems is that there is some regions which are lawless and the big fact that corruption is the biggest problem which affects the poor also Yemenis abroad are mostly put of Yemen from this single main issue. I hope the future of the Yemen times will promote Yemenis abroad and have interviews on the influence of Yemen to its international community and how its Yemen's abroad could promote Yemen. Sport is a big marketing strategy for a nations promotion I think Yemen needs to advance even though Naseem Hamid is our only known sports figure it is not enough because he was discovered in the UK. The Yemen time should have a sports page to promote future sports stars also when I visited Yemen last year there wasn't enough sports facilities. I think the government and companies should do more for sports and this could benefit them if they promote thee companies.

Tourism is a special economic tool I would like to see the Yemen Times advertising a travel page which will give Yemeni's and tourist's a page of bargain packages of travelling to different places in Yemen this could be done by the Yemen Times using hotels and travel companies giving offers also it would help promote business this will increase regional tourism try to get I would like to thank the editor and keep up the good work.
