Kabul, Afghanistan- The March Tourism Report for Afghanistan continues to disappoint. Although higher than previous numbers, the ten people who visited Afghanistan in March is still far below expectations by Taliban officials, who had hoped to capitalize on the country's shift to Sharia Law in enticing people to visit their storied land.
Instead, tourists seem to be staying away in droves and complaints continue to pour in at the rate of one every nine months.
"Nobody is more disappointed with these results than I am," former director of tourism, Achmed Ye Salami said just before his execution, "and I'd like more time to make it work, but how am I supposed to head the tourism department without my head?"
The new director of tourism, Achmed Ye Bolonga, is trying hard not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessor. "The first thing I'm going to do is go on a fact-finding visit to Pakistan," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity, "I have relatives there where I can hide out."
