Wadiya’s Tourism Prospect

With the advent of “democracy” in Wadiya, a massive opportunity for the county arose from
its oft-neglected tourism sector. Up until recently, Wadiya had barely any tourists visiting the country,
understandable considering the country was, for lack of a better word, a totalitarian hellhole. Thus,
the reforms and opening up that are currently being done by President-Prime Minister-Admiral-
General Aladeen provides ample opportunity for Wadiya to open up to the world and grow its
tourism sector. Growing this sector is key for Wadiya to diversify its economy and prevent over-
reliance on its primary export of hydrocarbons that will one day run out.

Developing the tourism industry will require some effort due to the lack of preexisting
tourism infrastructure such as airports and hotels. Due to that, turning Wadiya into Dubai-in-North-
Africa is infeasible in the short term, Wadiya simply lacks the awe-inspiring attraction that Dubai has.
Instead, Wadiya should focus on developing its cultural, heritage, and desert tourism. These three
types of tourism would be the easiest to develop in Wadiya because they do not need any heavy
construction to develop.

The people of Wadiya have an incredibly rich culture that is steeped in millennia of history
and cultural practices. From the “Ardash” sword dancing to Mahfroom fruit cultivation, the culture of
Wadiya can be a source of attraction for tourists everywhere. Wadiyans' warm and welcoming
attitude to guests would endear travelers who come here. It will take little to no effort to train locals
how to handle tourists. Tourists of the mid-centric typology would be the target of this tourism type

Wadiya's long and storied past can also be an attraction for international tourists to the
country. Heritage tourism has great potential in Wadiya due to the abundance of historical sites that
litter the desert of Wadiya. An example is the ancient city Kheset, dubbed by British explorers as the
“Atlantis of the Desert”, in the country’s southeast. Visitors can marvel at the glory of Wadiya’s past
and learn historical facts about the nation. However, heritage tourism would face hurdles due to the
remote location of some of the locations.

Wadiya’s natural wonders can also be an attraction for tourists, the vast desert of the
country’s interior is breathtaking for anyone. Desert tourism would perfectly accommodate
allocentric travelers who want to experience nature in its purest form. Examples of activities that can
be done by tourists are jeep safari, dirt biking, falconry, horse riding, sand boarding, and many more.
All of the components to make this type of tourism successful are already present in modern-day
Wadiya

These three forms of tourism are key for Wadiya to develop its tourism Industry. Especially if
Wadiya remains skeptical of foreign direct investments (FDI) which it needs to develop a contender
to Dubai.

Tsunami Early Warning System

Creating effective early warning systems (EWS) in coastal regions, particularly those
susceptible to natural disasters like tsunamis, is vital for minimizing potential tragedies.
Below is a practical list of EWS measures tailored to areas resembling Khao Lak, Thailand:

1. Monitoring Seismic and Oceanic Activity:

 Establish a reliable network for monitoring underwater earthquakes and
abnormal sea level changes, enabling the prompt assessment of magnitude
and potential threats.
2. Public Education Initiatives:
 Conduct regular awareness campaigns to educate residents and tourists on
recognizing tsunami signs and appropriate evacuation procedures.
 Utilize various mediums, including informational materials, drills, mobile apps,
and social media, for disseminating timely information.
3. Community-Driven Warning Systems:
 Implement localized warning systems that swiftly reach at-risk communities
through methods like sirens, loudspeakers, and community-based alert
systems.
4. Diverse Warning Communication Channels:
 Develop multiple communication channels such as SMS alerts, mobile apps,
and traditional media outlets to issue warnings.
 Ensure warnings are available in various languages to cater to the diverse
population, including tourists.
5. Evacuation Planning and Shelter Preparation:
 Identify and mark clear evacuation routes leading to safe zones or shelters.
 Consider the needs of vulnerable populations during evacuations, planning
for the elderly and those with disabilities.
6. Regular Drills and Exercises:
 Conduct routine evacuation drills involving local communities, businesses, and
emergency response teams to refine response coordination.
 Use the outcomes of these exercises to evaluate and improve evacuation
plans.
7. Infrastructure Resilience:
 Enforce building codes and infrastructure standards that consider potential
tsunami impacts.
 Retrofit critical infrastructure, such as hospitals and emergency shelters, to
withstand tsunami forces.
8. Local Stakeholder Participation:
 Engage local communities, businesses, and governments in the development,
testing, and enhancement of the EWS.
 Foster a sense of community responsibility for the effectiveness of the
warning system.
