International tourism is slowly returning to Syria.

Since 2019, Syria has emerged as a destination for adventure tourism and for travelers seeking a deeper understanding of conflict and its impact. This trend is expected to continue for at least the next five years, as the country faces significant challenges in rebuilding its infrastructure and achieving political stability—both essential for large-scale reconstruction efforts, following the fall of the Assad regime, a significant number of journalists and media professionals traveled to Syria to document this historic moment, while many Syrians living abroad returned to celebrate the country’s new chapter. With the security situation steadily improving and interprovincial roads being secured, Syria is on the path to revival. Consequently, tourist trips to the country are starting, with plans already underway for the upcoming spring season.
