Economic History	Yemen	The tourism industry, which imploded in 1999 due mainly to a fatal kidnapping incident in December 1998, began to recover in the summer of 2000. The government began to enforce stiff new anti-kidnapping laws, which along with the Saudi-Yemeni border treaty signed in June 2000, had a positive impact in deterring that activity. (references)
