Tourism in Afghanistan

The  tourism industry  of  Afghanistan , developed with government help in the early 1970s, has been negligible since 1979 due to  internal political instability . A  passport  and  visa  are required for entrance into Afghanistan. In 1999, the  UN  estimated the daily cost of staying in  Kabul  at $70  USD . Approximately 61% of these costs were estimated to be the price of a room in a guesthouse. It also has a high rate for hotels. Travel was highly restricted in the country due to the  US-led campaign  against the  Taliban  and  al-Qaeda . Afghan embassies issue between 15,000 and 20,000 tourist visas annually.In 2014, bookings for adventure trips were doubled in Afghanistan.
