Many people like to travel abroad. In itself, everyone has a special love for the Gulf countries. But it is a bit difficult to cover all the Gulf countries in one trip. Visa is the biggest problem in this regard. But now that problem is also being solved.

Serious discussions are going on to introduce a single visitor visa to all the Gulf countries. A system similar to the Schengen visa for European countries is being considered under the leadership of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). . With the arrival of a unified Gulf tourist visa, the hope behind the project is to give a big boost to the tourism sector for all the countries in the region. The new visa system will provide an opportunity to visit GCC countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman with a single visa.

Discussions on a unified GCC visa also emerged at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai. Bahrain Tourism Minister Fatima Al Sairfi responded that discussions are underway at the ministerial level in the GCC countries. They shared the hope that such a visa system would be implemented soon. Travelers to Europe visit and stay in multiple countries.

If this is made possible in the Gulf, all countries will benefit from it, rather than any one country – said the Bahrain Tourism Minister at a panel discussion on the Future of Arabian Travel organized at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai. She added that Bahrain has benefited from joint tourism promotion activities with the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Abdullah Al Saleh, Under-Secretary of the UAE Ministry of Finance, said that all countries believe that the tourism sector is very important to the economies of the GCC countries. The GCC countries have a common market and unified policy positions. Therefore, laws, regulations and measures that bring all countries under one umbrella will benefit all and accelerate growth.

He said that if tourists planning long trips are allowed to visit all the countries in the region and travel across borders instead of giving them experiences in just one country, it will give them a better travel experience and thus the importance of the tourism sector in the economy of all countries will increase.
