Kuwait prepares for national events with focus on visitor experience
Speaking at the meeting held at Seif Palace, Al-Mutairi highlighted the need for coordinated efforts among government bodies, the private sector, and civil society to ensure the success of upcoming events. He stressed that these efforts should reflect a professional and national spirit that projects Kuwait's civilized image and contributes to revitalizing the country's economy.
The meeting was attended by notable figures including Sheikha Amthal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Head of the Voluntary Work Center. Participants reviewed various visual presentations featuring initiatives such as the "Visit Kuwait" platform, the cultural trail, and the summer events map.
Discussions also focused on private sector proposals and recent progress in coordination with the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) to enhance the role of the Kuwait House for National Works in the upcoming period.
A significant agenda item was the ongoing preparation for establishing the official position of 'tour guide' in Kuwait. This initiative aims to support tourism and cultural awareness during national events. The committee reviewed procedural steps and discussed implementation strategies in collaboration with relevant authorities. These include setting professional and training standards to certify guides and equip them to present Kuwait's history, cultural heritage, and civilizational landmarks effectively.
Furthermore, it was agreed to launch the first phase of this project in partnership with the Volunteer Work Center, opening volunteer opportunities for aspiring tourist guides.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to continue enhancing Kuwait's national celebrations through innovation, cooperation, and a strong sense of national pride.

This Simple Change Could Cut Your Kuwait Utility Bill by 90%
KUWAIT CITY, July 24: Chair of the Technical Committee for Incentive Grants and Director of the Automated Center Department in the Customer Service Sector at the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy Saud Al-Hayyan revealed that the 'Hafez' (catalyst) Conservation Program targets 180,000 citizen customers living in private and commercial housing. He said if the ministry succeeds in reducing subsidies by just half, it will achieve huge savings that can be redirected to development projects. During an introductory lecture on the Hafez Conservation Program held recently at the ministry's headquarters, Al-Hayyan explained that customers who reduce their consumption by 20 percent or less will receive a 40 percent discount on their bill. Those who save more than 25 percent on water consumption will enjoy a 50 percent discount. If customers save on both electricity and water combined, the incentive may reach up to a 90 percent discount on their bill. In cases where a renewable energy system is installed, the incentive increases to three times the usual discount. Al-Hayyan clarified that the incentive is a discount on bills, not a cash payment. This discount is applied in January or February each year after obtaining official approvals, and it will positively impact citizens' bills. He further explained that the state bears a major portion of the cost of energy and water production. While customers pay 2 fils per kilowatt-hour, the ministry covers the cost of 46 fils. The cost of producing 1,000 gallons of water is approximately KD 5, rising to KD 8 in 2024, while citizens pay only 800 fils.

UK Envoy Belinda Lewis Bids Farewell with Big Wins for Culture, Trade & Peace
KUWAIT CITY, July 24: British Ambassador to the State of Kuwait, Her Excellency Belinda Lewis, welcomed journalists to her Residence as she approaches the end of her posting. Reflecting on the past four years, Lewis lauded Kuwait's 'special and long-standing' partnership with the UK - noting that 2025 marks 250 years of bilateral trading ties. She also thanked the Kuwaiti people for their warm hospitality, recalling Ramadan diwaniyas and the Al-Qaffal ceremony marking the end of the pearl diving season as especially memorable cultural experiences. Lewis highlighted February 2024's rollout of the UK's Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme to Kuwaiti nationals as significant in strengthening people-to-people links between the two countries. Kuwaiti nationals made 162,000 trips to Britain in 2024 - a 6% increase from 2023, with Kuwait Airways now offering 19 direct flights a week to London and Manchester. She also expressed delight that an ever-growing number of Kuwaitis are choosing to study at UK universities, with over 10,000 currently undertaking courses there. Noting the UK and Kuwait's rich shared history, Lewis reflected on the success of joint celebrations to mark 125 years of official UK-Kuwait diplomatic relations - rounded off by His Highness the Amir's trip to Scotland to meet His Majesty King Charles III and discuss Kuwait's partnership with the King's Foundation; and His Highness' August 2023 Guest of Government visit to London marking 70 years since the establishment of the Kuwait's sovereign wealth fund, during which he oversaw the signing of a landmark investment partnership. Lewis noted that His Highness had travelled to the UK five times across her tenure, while Kuwait welcomed four UK Cabinet Ministers, including most recently the UK's Foreign Secretary, the Rt Hon David Lammy MP - plus numerous Ministers of State, senior officials and the Duke of Edinburgh. She said Britain was now 'close' to concluding a landmark Free Trade Agreement with the GCC, while praising the UK and Kuwait's burgeoning international humanitarian partnership that has seen the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development announce lifesaving joint funding for communities in Gaza, Yemen, Sudan and Somalia. Asked about the situation in Gaza, Lewis strongly condemned the killing of civilians attempting to access humanitarian aid and called for an immediate end to the conflict, referring to the UK and 27 other countries' 21 July joint statement. She also detailed the Embassy's initiatives to fund specialist training for Kuwaiti medics deploying to Gaza, and its collaboration with the Palestinian Embassy and the British Consulate in Jerusalem to help small Palestinian businesses export their goods to Kuwait - with Lulu Hypermarket making a large order of foodstuffs earlier this year. Lewis expressed confidence that her successor, Qudsi Rasheed (who will arrive in September), would thoroughly enjoy his time in Kuwait, and that UK-Kuwait collaboration - be it on trade & investment, defence & security, education & culture, or climate & environment - would continue to go from strength to strength under his guidance.
