Syrian ministry releases promo video to try and boost tourism to war-torn country

The Syrian Ministry of Tourism has released a video titled Syria Always Beautiful, showing the Golden Sands Beach in the coastal city of Tartous. The beach is under the Syrian Government control, but the country has been engaged in civil war since August 2011, as the Free Syrian Army, ISIS and the Assads government all fight for control. The Syrian Ministry claims people entering the country has risen by 30% as of July 2016 compared to the year before, but it did not specify if those numbers were tourism related. Aug 30, 2016
