Marketing of cities: With Souk Okaz, Taif is an exemplary model
The marketing of a commodity succeeds when it is unique and has features that other commodities lack. We should use this economic concept to market the cities of the Kingdom according to the unique features that they possess.For example, the summer resorts in the southern regions of the Kingdom could be marketed during the hot and humid season, especially those cities that have important archaeological sites and perhaps coastal cities could be promoted in the winter and northern cities in the spring.When I recently visited Souk Okaz during the Taif Season festival, I realized that we could succeed in the domestic tourism industry by tapping the huge potential of Saudi youth. Although I have visited Taif before, I saw it differently this time, as its summer resorts in Al-Shafa and Al-Hada...

Marketing of cities: With Souk Okaz, Taif is an exemplary model

Continuous struggle!
The struggle between the “old” and the “new” never seems to end. It is continuous and no region and people of the world are excluded. The struggle is between the mindset that fears change and considers it to be a suspicious and malicious conspiracy and a mentality that looks to the future. This conflict exists in its various forms, both in the West and in the East. As economic prosperity and the cycle of history change, new countries with new standards have the right to take the lead.A sudden positive shift in economic circumstances can sometimes lead to somewhat vulgar behavior and choices that affect the arts, along with religious and social views and other sectors.The highly successful film Crazy Rich Asians, based on a novel of the same name, shows the madness and tyranny of...

The empowerment of women
The empowerment of women is aimed at putting things back on the right track. It means enabling women to lead a life without coercion or rejection by men of a woman’s role in society. When this is accomplished, society will live in complete harmony with itself and the world around it.Those people who reject such empowerment have problems with themselves and others. There is not a single justification against the right of women to drive except inherited obsolete traditions and chauvinism. Those who reject the empowerment of women are refusing to recognize a woman’s innate rights.The father, brother and uncle who had custody of women should have backed their empowerment. The opponents of empowerment were either influenced by masculine misconceptions or were protecting their own interests....

How can Saudis be aware of politics and IR?
Living in a monarchical system does not mean that politics and International Relations are unimportant, as it is no secret that what happens in the political world affects all of us. Indeed, politics has a greater impact on our lives than I believe most people want to admit.I was honored to be the only Saudi graduate of International Relations among my cohort in 2015, and I realized when I returned to Saudi Arabia that citizens were not aware of such a major which is well known in the West.Politics is connected to almost everything. Therefore, having a basic knowledge of political science is a necessity for everyone in society regardless of their age or field of work. Political science and international relations are social sciences that encompass political systems and philosophies that...

Italy new chance for an humane migrant policy
THE political fall of Italy’s Matteo Salvini will be a cause for rejoicing in Brussels because of this populist leader’s promise to challenge the European Central Bank and the structure of the euro with a rule-busting budget. It will also come as a great relief to those who deplored Salvini’s racist and Islamophobic treatment of migrants. By effectively shutting Italian ports to a vessels carrying migrants rescued from flimsy craft in the Mediterranean, the fallen Italian leader was rejecting humanitarian norms and playing to the fear that Italy was being swamped with asylum-seeker arrivals. Salivini’s main argument was that Italy should not be expected to shoulder the migrant burden by itself. If Brussels deplored his blockade of newcomers, then fellow EU states should be prepared...

International heft needed for the Rohingya Muslims
IT is now two years since soldiers, police and Buddhist vigilantes, led by fanatical monks drove hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims from their Myanmar homes. At least nine thousand were killed in the state-sponsored violence and approaching a million are cowering in squalid refugee camps in neighboring Bangladesh. Despite this blatant ethnic cleansing by a regime led by a Nobel Peace Laureate, the international community has done precisely nothing.The shame of this genocidal crime and the appalling tragedy it has created rests not simply with the regime but with every country around the world that has chosen to look away.In Bosnia, after racist killers massacred seven thousand at Srebrenica, the world finally acted. NATO sent warplanes to assault the Bosnian-Serbs and punish their...

In Yemen: A war of priorities, not agenda
A single plot can branch out to cover several conspiracies and scenarios of disruption and complexity. This is what the mullahs want to achieve with their agent the Houthis who are trying to expand in Yemen and stab the Gulf Arab states in the back.There is no doubt that the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia remains strong and stable and that malicious viruses that are lurking about will only give the Arab Alliance new immunity and strength, for as it is said “what does not kill you makes you stronger”, which is confirmed by the recent Saudi-UAE statement.The Saudi-UAE alliance will not be affected by any differences even if there may be some variation of opinion, because such an alliance is based on a stable relationship and a strategic necessity and bonds between the two brothers...

Environmental cleansing in Brazil
The social media hordes love a good cause, especially one where the only effort they need to make in support is merely pushing the “like” button. In among a kaleidoscope of their different concerns, one of the latest being “cultural appropriation” (owning a Japanese teapot when you are not Japanese), one constant has been the environment.It is thus no surprise that social media warriors are incensed by the fires currently raging over large parts of the Amazonian rainforest in Brazil. Farmers, ranchers and mining companies have long used the dry season to burn down millions of trees to create new fields or access to fresh ore deposits. Unfortunately, agriculturally, this “environmental cleansing” is largely useless. The cleared land is of poor quality yielding limited harvests....

India’s democracy is at stake
My columns on the recent events in Kashmir have prompted a flurry of letters, some supportive of my views while others vehemently opposed to them and accusing me of being ignorant on the subject as I am not an Indian. While that is a fair enough charge in terms of my nationality, I have studied some subcontinent history and would venture to say that I write it as I see it based on historical facts. However, it is time to allow Indians to vent their opinions and provide some more insight. One such response to my writings was from Habib who writes:“The recent happenings in Kashmir have motivated me to write the following:“I was born in Barabanki a small town near Lucknow, the capital of United Provinces (a Hindu majority province) in British India some 87 years ago. I remember living for...

Macron’s G7 stunt
PRESIDENT Emmanuel Macron seems to have tried to play a flanker at the G7 meeting in the French resort of Biarritz. To the considerable surprise of President Trump and his US colleagues, Macron invited Iran foreign minister Javad Zarif to a meeting held on the fringe of the summit. Zarif used Twitter, Trump’s medium of choice, to gloat that he had had “constructive” talks with Macron. The French leader has been spear-heading efforts to frustrate Washington’s reimposition of tough economic sanctions of the regime in Tehran. At first sight, whether wisely or not, his invitation to Zarif to come to Biarritz for one-to-one talks might have seemed reasonable. But in reality, it was more like a stunt, because Macron had already met the Iranian minister in Paris on Friday, on the eve of...
