Taliban-run tourism institute aims to attract more travelers to Afghanistan

A Taliban-run tourism and hotel management institute has opened its doors to students in an effort to attract more tourists to Afghanistan, officials say.

The students vary in age, education level and professional experience. They're all men — Afghan women are banned from studying beyond sixth grade — and they don't know anything about tourism or hospitality. But they are all eager to promote a different side of Afghanistan. And the Taliban are happy to help.
