Taliban Releases Video Urging Tourists Not to Fear Travel to Afghanistan
The Taliban has released a video encouraging tourists to visit Afghanistan, promising safety and unforgettable experiences. They assure that “no one will be taken hostage.”
In Afghanistan, now under Taliban control, an official video has been released to promote the country’s appeal as a tourist destination. The footage showcases mountain landscapes, historical monuments, and scenes from local life. The creators address potential tourists with promises of full safety, a unique cultural experience, and assurances that the trip will not result in detention or abduction.
The message emphasizes that modern Afghanistan is allegedly open to international travelers and offers a land rich in history, natural diversity, and ancient traditions. Taliban representatives claim that tourists will be protected and that there are no threats to their lives or wellbeing.
The video includes visuals of picturesque locations such as mountain regions, valleys, and Islamic architectural landmarks. It also highlights traditional crafts, local markets, and scenes of hospitality. Special emphasis is placed on portraying a visit to Afghanistan as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Particular attention is given to statements guaranteeing that foreign nationals will not be kidnapped. The Taliban asserts that such incidents occurred in the past due to conflict and foreign intervention, and that the current government ensures the safety of all guests.
Despite these claims, international agencies continue to advise against travel to Afghanistan, citing ongoing instability, lack of consular support, and risks of armed incidents. Most countries do not officially recognize Taliban authority, and human rights organizations continue to report numerous violations.
This is not the first time the Taliban has attempted to portray Afghanistan as a safe tourist destination. However, the actual number of incoming tourists remains minimal, and global tour operators avoid including the country in travel routes.
The new video has sparked mixed reactions online. Some users point out discrepancies between the image presented and the real situation in the country, while others see it as an attempt to use tourism as a tool for international positioning.
