"This aligns with the goals of the comprehensive developmental process, led by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and overseen by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister," he stated.
 
Shaikh Khalid said this status reflects the success of efforts to enhance Bahrain’s tourism appeal through infrastructure development, waterfront enhancements, and services catering to tourists worldwide. 
 
These efforts align with the role of the tourism sector as a key contributor to growth and a high-potential economic sector with a positive impact on the GDP, he added.
