Road construction projects boost tourism in Kurdistan Region

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The ninth cabinet of the Kurdistan Region has placed significant emphasis on infrastructure, particularly in the roads sector, resulting in a notable boost in tourism and other industries.

Tourists from central and southern Iraq are increasingly traveling long distances to visit Kurdistan's scenic destinations, facilitated by improved road networks that ensure smoother journeys.

"We traveled from Baghdad to Erbil, Shaqlawa, and other areas, and the roads are excellent. There is stability, security, and we are treated very well," remarked a tourist speaking to Kurdistan 24.

Fatima Mohammed, another visitor, commented on the beauty of the region, saying, "The scenery is breathtaking, and the roads are exceptional. This place is truly special."

The surge in tourist numbers in Soran can be attributed largely to ongoing road projects. Visitors expressed their admiration for the area's natural beauty and noted significant infrastructure development that enhances their tourism experience.

The government's focus on dual road construction, along with improvements in various sectors, has been pivotal in revitalizing tourism and fostering economic growth across the region.
