In this video, Sandy Ingram explores a surprising “Plan B” strategy for IQD investors by examining how Vietnam generates billions of dollars through tourism and visa revenue while maintaining a relatively low currency value.
Vietnam expects tourism revenue to reach $45 billion in 2026 with approximately 25 million international visitors.
Could Iraq generate even greater revenue through religious tourism? Iraq is home to some of the most important Christian and Islamic historical sites in the world, including Ur, the birthplace of Abraham, ancient Babylon, and locations visited by Pope Francis.
We examine the potential economic impact if only a small percentage of the world’s 1.5 billion Christians and nearly 2 billion Muslims visited Iraq each year.
What would that mean for Iraq’s GDP, hotel industry, infrastructure, and ultimately the Iraqi Dinar (IQD)?
