As part of the state’s plans to diversify the economy and strengthen non-oil sectors, the relevant authorities are currently implementing 30 tourism projects across various parts of Kuwait. These projects aim to boost domestic tourism and provide diverse attractions that serve families, youth, and all segments of society.
The entertainment and cultural projects include the development of various facilities under the supervision of government entities such as the Kuwait Municipality, the Ministry of Information, and the Tourism Enterprises Company. They focus on diverse recreational activities that enhance the quality of life and stimulate local tourism.
The government’s vision includes establishing waterfronts, markets, and cultural facilities from Jahra Governorate to Failaka Island, alongside the balanced geographical development of beaches and heritage sites.
The rehabilitation of Al-Mubarakiya Market is currently underway, while preserving its heritage and improving service and organizational infrastructure to meet visitors’ needs and strengthen its historical status.
Waterfront development projects are receiving special priority, such as the Jahra Corniche and the Green Island project extending to Shaab Leisure Park and Al-Messila Beach, to ensure the transformation of the coastline into fully integrated tourist destinations.
Markets and heritage sites such as Al-Mubarakiya Market, the Friday Market, and the Bird Market are also being organized and developed, in addition to rebuilding the area affected by the Al-Mubarakiya fire, preserving its traditional character while improving visitor services.
The plan also includes cultural and educational projects such as the Peace Palace Museum, the Kuwait National Museum, art exhibitions, and e-sports events, aiming to strengthen Kuwait’s cultural and knowledge-based role.
Major investments include the development of two strategic projects costing 500 million dinars on Failaka Island and in the Entertainment City in Doha, to achieve a qualitative leap in the tourism sector and attract sustainable investments that will support the national economy in the future.
