On Tuesday, March 7, 2023, the Minister of Tourism and Cultural Affairs together with other delegates attended a Ministerial round-table on the topic: “Mastering transformation on a Global Stage.”
During that session, Bahrain, Croatia, Egypt, and Georgia shared their experiences on how they are transforming their tourism in the face of a global crisis.
The Minister acknowledged that these strides are crucial to uplifting tourism development and improving inbound tourism, and with time she stands strong to showcase the beautiful attraction that Sierra Leone has.
