    While Iraq is struggling greatly to be an attractive country for tourists and therefore investors, the international classifications that often place Iraq among the advanced ranks in the lists of risks or negative classifications in various sectors constitute an “annoying” and unconvincing matter, whether to the concerned government agencies or to the popular circles. They often see that these classifications do not match the relative development they see in safety and urbanization in Baghdad and some governorates.

    Last Sunday, two Kuwaiti tourists were reported missing, between the Anbar and Salah al-Din deserts, before it became clear that the two tourists, one of them Kuwaiti and the other a Saudi, residing in Kuwait, before the security authorities in Iraq announced yesterday, Tuesday, that is, two days after their disappearance, that the bodies of the two tourists had been found. While the official version indicated that the tourists' wheel was hit by an explosive device left behind by ISIS.

    This story came after another story was circulated stating that the two tourists were kidnapped and their vehicle was subjected to heavy fire before being burned, which made the latest security story controversial and confusing.

    But what happened to the Saudi and Kuwaiti tourists, who were killed and turned into charred corpses in the Anbar desert, reopens the discussion about the extent of Iraq’s readiness and possession of the capabilities and requirements that make it a tourist country, in addition to bringing attention back to the recent classification of the International Company concerned with the field of security and risk services.

    The company's risk report for the year 2024 placed Iraq in third place on the list of the most dangerous countries or travel destinations, as Iraq came in the red zone among several countries including Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Libya, South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen.

    While this classification is considered “strange” for popular circles that see tourists from various countries touring Iraq, especially the marshes areas in Maysan and the antiquities in Dhi Qar Governorate, what happened to Gulf tourists raises questions about specific weaknesses in the security and tourism aspects, as observers believe that the killing The fact that tourists went to dangerous places, or that their death was an act of God, cannot be justified or exempt the Iraqi arena from security requirements.

    While the Iraqi position currently stands between two options, the first is that the security forces “did not know” where the tourists were being transported, entering the desert for the purpose of hunting, and enabling them to cross many military checkpoints without being certain or keen to know the destination they were heading to, which makes the situation Iraqi security is weak.

    The second option is that the Iraqi security forces were aware of the tourists, but they did not make sufficient efforts to identify the dangerous areas to which entry is prohibited, and they dealt with the issue negligently, which is another kind of blame on the Iraqi security position on the story, according to observers.

    Despite the Iraqi statement that held the Kuwaiti and Saudi tourists responsible for going to dangerous areas and that they died as a result of the explosion of an ISIS remnant, the Kuwaiti side confirmed in a statement that it is still waiting to know the circumstances of the incident and the results of the investigations.

    One of the Kuwaiti jurists also reviewed several points that make the Iraqi account of the way the tourists died “doubtful,” considering that the scenes surrounding the bike and the documented photos of the incident indicate that what happened was not an explosion, but rather an intentional burning of the bike.



     
    Observers believe that Iraqi government agencies must establish roads and agencies specialized in tourism security, as Iraq is lagging behind in this field, and this issue must be kept pace with, especially with the beginning of an increase in the number of Arab and foreign tourists arriving to Iraq during the past two years compared to previous years.
