Extracted text: QUESTION 27 5 points Save Answer Recently, under the leadership of his Royal Highness Prince Salman Bin Hamad Al-Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Bahrain has introduced a new strategy of tourism for the years 2022-2026. The strategy's framework includes four main objectives: increase the contribution of tourism to GDP to reach 11.4 percent in 2026, to highlight Bahrain's position as a global tourist hub, increase the number of targeted countries to attract more tourists, and diversify tourism products. The strategy is based on seven pillars: developing marine attractions, business tourism, sports tourism, recreational tourism, medical tourism, cultural tourism, and media tourism and cinematography. The launch of the new tourism strategy follows the implementation of major national tourism projects, including the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre in Sakhir, which is expected to be completed by the end of next year. The Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority is also developing several tourism projects, including the diving waterfront, the Bahrain Bay beach project, and the Qalali Coast waterfront. Projects such as the Mantis Hotel and Resort in the Hawar Islands, the Jumeirah Bahrain Bay Resort, the Tourist City project, the Bilaj Aljazayer Beach development project and the Saada project are set to be completed by January 2023.
