Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA) and Wego, a leading online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), have launched a campaign to drive tourism to the kingdom. Wego will work closely with BTEA to attract more travellers to the country in line with the government’s strategy for 2026 which aims to bring over 14.1 million tourists to the kingdom, said a statement from Wego.

The campaign will shed light on the things to do in the country for all types of travellers including solos, couples, and families as well as the key destinations to explore. It will be promoted on all Wego’s marketing channels and it aims to convert searches to bookings.
