According to Gulf Statistical Council, Bahrain occupied 40.5% of the total inter-tourism movement between the GCC countries. This means that over 2 million tourists are visiting Bahrain, making it the top destination for Gulf travel.

The UAE may be in second place with 25% of the international tourism movement, but Bahrain is the one to watch out for! With a growth rate of 46.2%, the inter-tourism movement in Bahrain is only going up. And the best part?
