Tourists from Arab countries spend nearly 300 BAM per day, without the accommodation costs. They spend money on food as well, and their priority is Bosnian food – cevapi, pie, roasted meals and other traditional meals. They also buy souvenirs, especially coffee sets, different products engraved with motives of BiH and its citizens, wool products etc.
According to data of the Tourist community of Canton Sarajevo, the most of tourists come from Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. When it comes to the tourists from Saudi Arabia, their number is not negligible, but the significant problem is that they need visa to enter BiH. At the end, there are also some tourist from Bahrein, but their number is negligible.
