The Rwanga Foundation and the Kurdistan Mountaineering Federation recently strengthened their collaboration. First, they renovated the federation’s headquarters in Erbil. Then, they installed solar energy systems at the Juta Dar Camp on Mount Safin. Now, they have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
This agreement aims to enhance mountain tourism in the Kurdistan Region. Specifically, they plan to digitize all mountaineering-friendly areas. They will achieve this through a dedicated mobile application. Additionally, they will establish a new hiking camp in one of Kurdistan’s scenic mountain locations.
The partnership highlights a strong commitment to outdoor activities. Moreover, it supports sustainable tourism by using renewable energy. The solar-powered Juta Dar Camp already sets an eco-friendly example. Furthermore, the digital platform will make hiking more accessible for enthusiasts.
Local officials praised the initiative for promoting adventure tourism. They also emphasized its potential to attract international visitors. The Rwanga Foundation continues to play a key role in regional development. Similarly, the Kurdistan Mountaineering Federation remains a driving force for outdoor sports.
This project aligns with broader efforts to boost Iraq’s tourism sector. With stunning landscapes and rich culture, Kurdistan offers vast potential. The new initiatives will likely encourage more people to explore the region’s natural beauty.
