Title: Economic Impacts of the War in the Middle East: Measures Taken to Support Tourism

The Council of Ministers convened this Friday and adopted a series of measures concerning tourism in light of the ongoing war in the Middle East. Here are the key points to note:

• The seating capacity has been restored through additional direct flights and temporary frequency increases, notably 6 extra flights by MK from March 23 to April 29, 2026, to Paris, and 3 additional flights per week by Turkish Airlines for a duration of one year.

• Enhance marketing efforts for the destination to reassure travelers.

• Support the swift redeployment of marketing efforts towards high-performing markets such as South Africa, India, Australia, and Réunion.

• Ensure monitoring of the resumption of flights by airlines during the ceasefire period.
