More safety for Yemen visitors

SANA'A, June 27 (Saba) - The Interior Ministry has started this week placing a
Network Security Monitor to ensure the safety of tourists while moving inside Yemen.

The ministry in collaboration with the Tourism Ministry will work to provide tourist
cars, including those for private tourist companies, with warning systems.

The security tools would be used by drivers in case they are intercepted by armed
groups who may try to kidnap tourists on highways.

The ministry will also set up a control room connecting all tourist cars and the
room would be equipped with early warning systems.

The move comes after recent kidnappings in the country which Yemen says have struck
tourism with a number of foreign companies reducing flights to Yemen.
