112,000 tourists on third day of Nawroz
Friday’s figures mean an increase of about 36% from the first day of Nawroz when 82,000 tourists from other non-Kurdish parts of Iraq and the neighboring countries visited the region for the Nawroz and spring celebrations.
The number of visitors during the three day Nawroz festivities this year is about double the number from last year when only 57,000 tourists visited the region.
Hotels, motels, and other housings have all been filled with the influx of visitors from other parts of Iraq, neighboring countries and all over the world, the association said.
