Syria: Tourism struggles to return to the UNESCO site of Palmyra
  • One year after the fall of Bashar Al Assad's regime in Syria, residents of Palmyra are expressing hope for the return of tourists to the UNESCO World Heritage site. The region has endured 13 years of conflict, and with the regime's collapse to rebel forces, there is cautious optimism that peace may finally be on the horizon.
  • The potential return of tourism to Palmyra is significant as it could revitalize the local economy and restore cultural heritage. The site, known for its ancient ruins, has suffered greatly during the war, and renewed interest from tourists could aid in the recovery of the community.
