Monday, November 12, 2007

A high-profile delegation, comprising the Secretary of State for Tourism and Culture, Hon. Angela Colley, officials of the Gambia Tourism Authority (GTA) and managers of major hotels in the country will today leave Banjul for the UK where they will represent The Gambia at the biggest tourism gathering, the World Tourism Market (WTM).

The event, which will run from 12-15 November at Excel Conference Hall in London, is expected to bring under one roof tourism stakeholders from all the five continents of the globe.

Ardy Sarge, Laye Mboge, Alieu Secka, Amadou Ceesay and Khaliba Senghore; all gurus in their own rights when it comes to tourism, would be part of the high-level Gambian contingent to the international gathering.

According to our source, the Gambian delegation will use the opportunity to consolidate Gambia’s market share to break new market source.

It would be recalled that last year, The Gambia won the second prize for the best tourism stand at the WTM forum.
