South Africa tasks African leaders on tourism master plan
The South Africa Tourism (SAT) has advised African leaders on the establishment of an intra-Africa tourism masterplan to stimulate tourism demands and growth across the African region.
Nomasonto Ndlovu, Acting Chief Executive Officer, SAT, gave the advice on Tuesday during a business roundtable and dialogue session organised by the South Africa Consulate General in Lagos and Brand South Africa.
The theme for the programme is “Promoting Regional and Continental Trade Through the AFCFTA and BRICS in Africa”.
Ndlovu said that considering the different barriers hindering seamless intra-Africa trade, travels and tourism, it had become important to be strategic in handling the challenges.
She noted that it was high time Africans developed a tourism masterplan which would make provision for a downward review of airfares within Africa.
