The Yemeni Europe Tourist Days have concluded in the last events in Frankfort that came within a 15-day campaign to promote Yemen tourism in Britain, France, Italy and Germany.
uring the campaign, representatives of European tour and public relations firms said that non-presentation of Yemen is the major obstacle facing introducing the country to Europeans, hailing a recent EU decision affirming full support for Yemen. Yemen has made major efforts to introduce its tourist products to Europeans during the campaign, the second since 2007, distributing about 12000 brochures and booklets presenting Yemen to those who visited its cultural and tourist tents and events organized in the four states. Yemen tourism revenues increased last year by 7 percent, with the number of those who visited Yemen up from 378361 in 2007 to 404497.
