BAMYAN CITY (Pajhwok): Insecurity and growing violence in the neighboring provinces of central Bamyan province hampered tourism industry in the province.
Bamyan is considered to be a peaceful province which attracted a large number of local and foreign tourists over the years but insecurity in the surrounding provinces and closure of roads threatened the tourism sector of the province.
Abdul Hameed, director of the heritage and historical sites protection department, said the high price of air tickets and insecurity of roads to Bamyan provinces were the main reasons of decline in tourism in the province . . .
