The province of Herat has witnessed a significant increase in domestic tourism, following the hosting of the fourth season of the Afghanistan Champions League and recent water surge at the Pashdan Dam.
Mawlavi Rahmatullah Mohammadi, the tourism director of Herat’s information and culture department, reported that nearly 50,000 domestic tourists from various provinces traveled to Herat in the past month alone.
This surge in visitors has not only been attributed to the excitement surrounding the Champions League but also to the Pashdan Dam, which has emerged as a popular recreational destination.
Tourists have taken the opportunity to explore other historical and cultural attractions in Herat, contributing to a revitalized tourism scene in the region. Mohammadi emphasized the positive impact of this influx on the development of tourism in Herat, noting its role in promoting the province’s attractions on a national scale.
