| Discerning travellers with specialist
interests are alwayslooking for new experiences and
Kuwait is increasingly gaining a reputation as an ideal
destination of immense diversity. Watersports, wildlife
shopping, culture and five-star hotels all add up to
an irresistible tourist product. |
|
| Its beautiful islands, lovely weather
for many months of the year and huge investment in tourist
attractions have made Kuwait a favourite place for pan-Gulf
tourism. As travel confidence returns after 11 September,
the appeal of Kuwait is becoming more widely identified
throughout the world. |
|
| Kuwait has seen how the incentive tourism
product has been hugely beneficial in other Middle East
countries, such as Egypt or Lebanon. The potential of
incentives for increased leisure and business tourism
is recognised and the various organisations concerned
in bringing tourists to the area are working together
to provide attractive packages. |
|
| The success of events such as the Hala
February Festival have proved that such incentve packages
really work and has given encouragement to all participating
organisations — airlines, travel agents, retailers,
hotels and tourism firms — to develop and enhance
the offers they make. The wealth of entertainment available
in Kuwait provides something for every taste and interest.
|
|
| With its extensive coastline, watersports
and activities are particularly strong. Sailing, scuba
diving, swimming and jet skiing are available for the
energetic; fishing, taking a boat ride on a traditional
Arab dhow, or simply lazing on one of Kuwait's sun-soaked
beaches are on the agenda as more leisurely pastimes.
All Kuwait’s sporting venues are of a superb standard.
|
|
| The exclusive Hunting and Equestrian
Club offers world class horseracing and so much more.
Within the complex are facilities for golf, tennis,
squash, bowling, swimming and an indoor sports arena.
Kuwait's Olympic Skating Rink offers year- ound winter
sports action. The main rink — home of the Kuwait
Falcons ice |
