Tourism in Somalia is regulated by the Federal Government of Somalia's
Ministry of Tourism. The industry was traditionally noted for its

national parks. After the start of the civil war in the early 1990s, the
Tourism Ministry shut down operations. It was later re-established in
the 2000s, and once again oversees the national tourist industry. The Mogadishu-based Somali Tourism Association (SOMTA) also provides on-the-ground consulting services.
