A new Ewan McGregor movie always makes me happy. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is new to me, although evidently it was released in September 2011. At this point it is available on dvd.
There's no salmon fishing in Yemen, tourist board warns
The Yemen tourist board has warned would-be British holidaymakers that it does not have a salmon fishing industry, after a surge of interest due to Ewan McGregor's new film.
The Yemen Tourism Promotion Board said they had been "inundated" with requests about the Western Asian country following the cinema release of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.
Benjamin Carey, Yemen Tourism's UK spokesman said today : "There's been a real surge in visitors to our website since the film. There's been thousands of visits to our website.
"Salmon fishing isn't actually that popular in Yemen, but there are excellent sea fishing opportunities in the country.
"Also, unfortunately the EU is currently advising against travel to Yemen, which we think is excessive.
"Some places are very hospitable but I wouldn't advise people to go to certain places at this time."
