Arab Tourism Organization President Bandar bin Fahd Al-Fuhaid presented Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit with a model of the Arab Tourist Visa credit card. Issued with Iraq’s International Development Bank in partnership with Visa, it will offer benefits such as travel health insurance and baggage-loss cover.
A post on the organization’s Facebook page said the card will provide special discounts at international hotels, restaurants and other tourism establishments, alongside additional benefits.
The presentation took place during Aboul Gheit’s reception of Al-Fuhaid, a member of the Higher Coordination Committee for Joint Arab Action, and his delegation at Arab League headquarters in Cairo.
The secretary-general was briefed on Baghdad’s selection as Arab Tourism Capital 2025 and planned festivals and events organized with Iraq’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Al-Fuhaid said the launch celebration will take place on February 2, 2025 under the patronage of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, with Arab tourism ministers and the Arab League participating.
