H.E Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, President of Bahrain Authority For Culture and Antiquities
BAHRAIN, 2017/03/04 “Distinct from regular tourism, Bahrain’s cultural tourism specifically celebrates a country’s history, art, architecture and the traditions that have shaped a way of life. We have historically always been open to the world, welcoming visitors and traders alike,” says Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, President of the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities What is the importance of culture and art for Bahrain’s socio economic development? It doesn’t matter where in the world, culture and art are key factors for not only social but economic development as well. We believe that the role of culture in development should be treated as multi-layered: on one hand as an intrinsic price, and secondly as a real factor for Bahrain’s development leading to increased attractiveness of the country for tourists, residents and investors, thirdly, as an active factor of social development based on knowledge, tolerance and creativity.
