22/5/2018 12:59 am [rtl]Amer Issa Al-Jawahiri * The strategy of developing the private sector approved by the Council of Ministers at the end of June 2014 has included the development and proposal of strategic plans and new policies targeting the priority areas, including the tourism sector within (6) key sectors targeted in the strategy, : Quality of Service, Promotion and Advertising, Funding, Partnerships Strategy, Human Resources and Consumer Business Popular Industries The government program 2014-2018 ensures that the facilities and tourist areas are rehabilitated. The strategic priorities document in the ministries' plan of action is to protect the cultural heritage of the society and to spread the Iraqi culture through the reconstruction and rehabilitation of places of worship, cultural and artistic centers, In addition to promoting the status of religious and archeological tourism through: the establishment of buildings, complexes, tourist and archaeological facilities / support and protection of popular industries to revive the popular industries and prevent their destruction and the role of this in the advancement of Economy / Publishing Iraqi culture and marketing of intellectual production inside and outside Iraq, and attention to cultural and entertainment centers through the deployment of Iraqi culture and marketing of Iraqi intellectual production, publications, introducing the reader to Iraq and civilization culture and folk arts. private sector The comprehensive reform document called for the activation of a number of key sectors, including tourism, with exceptional attention, particularly with regard to supporting the private sector to take its rightful place in the Iraqi economy. But practically we find that most of the plans did not implement the required vision and serious will and collective implementation. It is known that tourism is a permanent river. There is the concept of the tourism industry and culture. The tourism boom needs to develop a vision, strategy and plans and most importantly take effective measures to manage, support, guide and revitalize this important sector, which is one of the main economic sectors that should be targeted to diversify the economy. Board formation Despite the lack of noticeable results from many councils and bodies that have been formed for other activities, but we propose to form a "Supreme Council for Tourism" and ensure the participation of all stakeholders and stakeholders from the government and private sectors. The Council shall develop a strategy for tourism development, activate it, follow up its implementation, overcome obstacles to its expansion, and ensure its advancement in all its branches, as it accelerates tourism, which is labor-intensive and activates many economic activities and improves Iraq's competitiveness and investment environment. There was such a council in Iraq but was canceled in 1975, and it is worth mentioning that there is a higher council for tourism in Egypt headed by the President of the Republic and in Syria under the Prime Minister. Tourism Promotion It draws attention to the degree of neglect of archaeological and historical sites, whether dating back to ancient periods or very dating back to modern history, especially those located within cities such as houses, sites, mosques, historic shops and Abbassid palaces, including the roads leading to those sites. This reality is a real danger of causing the vandalism and continued tampering with the loss of the opportunity to benefit from the revitalization of tourism, so the preservation and development of sites and services necessary for them to be actual tourist facilities a historic responsibility on the shoulders of those who aspire to tourism activity in Iraq, all of them. It is noteworthy that he entered Iraq in 2013 with a total of 892000 visitors from more than 36 Arab and foreign countries. Iraq does not have a standard international standard of tourism requirements. How can efforts be made to attract several million tourists and visitors for various purposes? Economic file We recommend that this sector be one of the important paragraphs in the government program 2018-2022, which is an opportunity to leave a historical imprint and that the executive bodies shall take into account : 1. To take into consideration the interrelationship between tourism activities monuments, culture, arts, theaters and workshops of sculptors, festivals and exhibitions of the various councils , cultural and historic sites, heritage and religious in the cities and the banks of rivers and sports activities, within the projects and programs under way configuration and coordination to take advantage of them to attract tourists to different peruse Charges. 2.

For example, the visitor to the effects of "Ur" and the Marshlands is shocked by the size of the work required to take care of these effects and areas, Tourists and easy access to those sites and take care of the roads leading to it. The same applies to all archeological sites and heritage throughout Iraq with the availability of publications and maps are easy to obtain at acceptable prices. 13.
