Would you belive Somalia is now a tourist destination now.3,333 miles of beach.

Turkish security forces are in Somalia helping with security. Turkey is investing billions in Somalia now! No other country see the potential to make money. 3,333 miles of pristine white sand beaches.!!
You getting paid by the Turkish Tourism Dept.?

Those pristine beaches--have little villages every few mile or so...very picturesque..and those villagers..are pirates! It's what they do.

Now I grant you that aggressive anti-piracy patrols by joint international forces have reduced the numbers of ships seized in the last year or so..but the pirates have simply moved further into the gulf..or across the straits...but the actual pirates..are still the same people...they just commute further to work!

A rich white tourist..and to a Somali..any white tourist is rich, by definition...is like putting a burger in front of a fat kid..they just can't help themselves.
 
Yes Somalia is now a tourist destination. The beautiful 3,333 miles of white sand beaches has a building boom of developers building beach resorts on the beach. That is a lot of beach, 3,333 miles of white sand beaches.!
Uh huh..sure it is.

Somalia Travel Advisory

Travel Advisory
October 28, 2019

Do not travel to Somalia due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health issues, kidnapping, and piracy.

Country Summary: Violent crime, such as kidnapping and murder, is common throughout Somalia, including Puntland and Somaliland. Illegal roadblocks are also widespread. A number of schools acting as “cultural rehabilitation” facilities are operating throughout Somalia with unknown licensing and oversight. Reports of physical abuse and people being held against their will in these facilities are common.

Terrorists continue to plot kidnappings, bombings, and other attacks in Somalia. They may conduct attacks with little or no warning, targeting airports and seaports, government buildings, hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and other areas where large crowds gather and Westerners frequent, as well as government, military, and Western convoys. Methods of attack can include car bombs, suicide bombers, individual attackers, and mortar fire, among others.

Civil unrest occurs throughout Somalia and can sometimes be violent.

Medical facilities across Somalia have limited capacity and are often nonexistent in rural areas.

Pirates are active in the waters off the Horn of Africa, especially in the international waters near Somalia.

The U.S. government has extremely limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Somalia due to the lack of permanent consular presence in Somalia.

Somalia 2019 Crime & Safety Report
A strong familiarity with Somalia and/or extensive prior travel to the region does not reduce travel risk. Those considering travel to Somalia, including Somaliland and Puntland, should obtain kidnap and recovery insurance, as well as medical evacuation insurance, prior to travel. Inter-clan, inter-factional, and criminal feuding can flare up with little/no warning.

After several years of quiet, pirates attacked several ships in 2017 and 2018. Avoid sailing near the Somalia coastline, as previous attacks have occurred as far as 1,000 nautical miles off the coast. Merchant vessels, fishing boats, and recreational craft all risk seizure by pirates and having their crews held for ransom in the waters off the Horn of Africa, especially in the international waters near Somalia. If transit around the Horn of Africa is necessary, vessels should travel in convoys, maintain good communications contact, and follow the guidance provided by the Maritime Security Center – Horn of Africa (MSC-HOA). Consult the Maritime Administration’s Horn of Africa Piracy page for information on maritime advisories, self-protection measures, and naval forces in the region.

While Somaliland has experienced a level of stability not present in other parts of Somalia, the Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens against all travel to Somalia, including the self-proclaimed “Independent Republic of Somaliland.” Travelers who visit Somaliland despite this warning should check conditions in Somaliland before embarking on their journey. Terrorist attacks have occurred against international relief workers, including Westerners, throughout Somalia, including in Puntland and Somaliland. No area in Somalia is immune from violence; the potential exists throughout the country for hostile acts, either targeted or random, against foreign nationals at any time.
But they do have nice beaches
Certain trade offs must be expected
 
Welcome to Somali Cruises
It's like a safari, only better

"Safari" is the Swahili word for adventure and that's just what we have in store for you.

We sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. We encourage you to bring your 'High powered weapons' along on the cruise. If you don't have weapons of your own, you can rent them on the boat.

Sounds like Mexico with airfare. I'll pass.
 
Yes Somalia is now a tourist destination. The beautiful 3,333 miles of white sand beaches has a building boom of developers building beach resorts on the beach. That is a lot of beach, 3,333 miles of white sand beaches.!

Uh-oh! Some of those tourists might be white and might interact with the Somali people. We know how that sort of thing frightens you. The influx of tourist $$$ could make the political situation better, or much, much worse.
 
Vacations in Somalia? THE Somalia? :eek-52:

Thanks but no thanks.
 
Somalia can become a Conservative Honeymoon and vacation destination
 
I wish them luck but we have islands that are visited by many American tourists in the Caribe region here that needs to be improved economically.
 
Somali women are beautiful, Somali men, not so much. But, they have no infrastructure for tourists.

The State Dept travel advisory is outdated and is old news. Turkey is investing billions in Somalia today. Smart investors are building the beach resorts now. The security situation in Somalia has improved drastically.
Hmmm...outdated as of Oct. of this year?

I actually did a bit of a web crawl on this one....you want to visit the pristine beaches of Somalia? Be my guest..but the country is a very long way from being any kind of destination resort--wanna go to that part of the world...Kenya is the ticket.

Yeah, he should go to Kenya instead. :04:

No. Somalia has 3,333 KILOMETERS of coastline. This equates to 1,879 miles.
 
Lake Michigan has some 1,638 miles of shoreline, of which 45 miles lie in Indiana. People from all over the world enjoy its many beaches
 
Somalia is a whole krap! Was there last year working on a project of the commie EU. Horribilis.
