Tourism and energy synergy for sustainable development in Senegal and The Gambia
THE MSGBC region, encompassing Senegal and The Gambia, has recognised the promising opportunities that arise from the convergence of the tourism and energy industries. Both countries are embracing innovative approaches to leverage these sectors for sustainable development and economic growth.
In Senegal, the development of the energy sector is revitalising the country’s tourism industry. Infrastructure and energy projects are being strategically implemented to expedite the growth and redevelopment of potential tourism destinations. One notable project is the Sandiara Special Economic Zone (SEZ), which incorporates a gas-to-power and solar facility set to power tourism hotspots along the southern coast.
