Yemeni coasts receive Gulf tourists [Archives:2002/33/Local News]

Several Yemeni coastal cities and regions are currently receiving a significant number of tourists from Gulf States especially Saudi Arabia. Sources in the Ministry of Tourism said that the current summer is witnessing the highest number in decades of tourists coming from Gulf countries.
Aden, Hadramout, and Hodeidah were the main destinations of those tourists due to their reasonably cooler temperature compared to that in most Gulf countries this time of the year.
The sources said that tourists coming from the Gulf are mobilizing the labor force of the hotel business and the tourism industry in general, especially after the significant improvement of relations between Yemen and the GCC.
