'''Tourism in Somaliland''' is regulated by the [[Somaliland]]'s Ministry of Tourism.

Tourism in Somaliland is regulated by the Somaliland's Ministry of Tourism. Somaliland, with marvellous beaches, breathtaking diving opportunities, scenic mountains and rich culture, is the definitive frontier of tourism. Not because it is unsafe, but because there is absolutely no tourism infrastructure and you’ll feel like you are the first visitor. Don’t confuse quiet, democratic and well organised Somaliland with chaotic and violent (southern) Somalia. On most maps, it is the same, as Somaliland is not an internationally recognised country. But Somaliland, de facto independent since 1991, has managed to build the most robust democracy of the entire region and takes great pride in it.
It is this confusion with Somalia and Somaliland’s lack of international funding that has so far prevented
