KUWAIT CITY, Oct 12, (KUNA): Kuwaitis are fond of travelling and visiting different world countries, both for recreation, and to get acquainted with peoples’ culture. The rising trend requires travel agencies that can organize such journeys, provide favorable offers and discover attracting destinations. Recently, a host of initiatives were launched on the social media offering advice and travel services to Kuwaiti families in return for money. In the course of time they have turned into projects, recently attracting more and more visitors.
Example
Kuwaiti young people are really fond of travelling and discovering fresh places, she said, noting that the first journey she organized was to Portugal, followed by a Safari in Eastern Africa, Kenya and Tanzania. This was the first Safari for women from the Arabian Gulf, aged 15-45, and it encouraged many of them to visit destinations they had never thought of before, especially after they saw pictures, she said. These included Iceland and the Portuguese Azores islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
Though marketing via social media has proved excellent so far, yet it is still inadequate, Al-Rashed said, noting that her Instagram account was the base for promoting business on the regional and the international scenes. Amatraveller offers whole packages, air tickets, hotel bookings, schedule and all other possible facilities, she said. According to Al-Rashed, no official permits are needed for such business, as she organizes journeys for people directly from Kuwait or abroad.
