The Taliban are actively working to transform Afghanistan into a tourism destination, highlighting a sharp drop in violence and improved safety measures. This shift from a history of conflict to a charm offensive includes efforts to attract tourists through increased connectivity with international hubs like Dubai, and the unique appeal of the location. Additionally, local initiatives like Munir, an Afghan tour guide, donating almost $5k to a village, exemplify community involvement. However, the initiative faces significant challenges, including the country's ongoing issues with human rights, specifically the treatment of women.
