Image of Tourism Attractions in Kuwait

The State of Kuwait has become well known since the Persian Gulf War. The country has tourism potential because of the international awareness arising from that conflict. This research compares the image of Kuwaiti tourism sights as perceived by Kuwaiti university students and English-speaking foreigners living in Kuwait. The findings show that the sample groups have different perceptions of tourism attractions and that neither group is very impressed with the attractions.
