Tourism has affected the cultural level of Karbala city, and this has contributed to the development of Islamic, historical and cultural holy places, and these places include the shrines of Imam Hussein and Abbas, peace be upon them, and other historical places such as mosques, Husseiniyas, shrines and other religious shrines, heritage markets and ancient Islamic landmarks…
The role of tourism comes in being a factor that motivates the concerned parties such as the governorate administration, its municipality and the Shiite Endowment Office to develop these holy places by establishing mechanisms that attract visitors and contribute to their smooth arrival and performing the visit in a spiritually and morally appropriate atmosphere…
The development and increase in tourism revenue rates contribute to supporting the gross domestic product and the earned tourism income, which is the sum of the incomes achieved by individuals working in the tourism sector, from rents, benefits, wages and profits, in exchange for providing tourism production factors from raw materials, labor, capital and organizing tourism facilities.
But achieving a promising and good reality and future that supports the economy of the city of Karbala depends on achieving security and providing services, and in order for these requirements to be achieved.
