PHOTOS: FlyBosnia launches Gassim service
NEWS FLASH
FlyBosnia inaugurated services between Sarajevo and Gassim in central Saudi Arabia yesterday evening, linking the two cities for the first time. The one weekly service will operate seasonally until August 27. A dozen airlines maintain flights to Gassim, mostly from the Middle East and North Africa. Sulaiman bin Abdullah Al-Shiddi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Al-Shiddi Group which owns FlybBosnia said, "The number of Saudi tourists to Bosnia and Herzegovina has increased significantly over the past three years. Last year's figures stood at 25.000, compared to 15.000 in 2018 and 7.000 the year before. One of the obstacles to growth are visas, however, considerable efforts have been made by officials in Saudi Arabia and Bosnia in this respect. For example, the visa fee has been reduced from 1.000 riyals to 400, which is a reasonable price". He added, "Arab tourists, including those from the Gulf, have not fully discovered Bosnia and Herzegovina. The number of Saudi travellers who have visited Bosnia and Herzegovina is around 35%. The rest are unaware of this important European country, full of beauty, heritage and scenic views".
