The country recently participated in the week long International Trade Fair Berlin (ITB), the World’s leading Travel Trade Show. As a driving force in the travel industry, the trade fair gives important impulses to a continuously growing market. This year’s ITB Berlin is reported to have a slight increase on trade visitors and business volume.
Headed by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, Hon. Peter Bayuku Konteh, the delegation comprised of Sierra Leone National Tourist Board and the private sector, engaged trade visitors and tour operators who have expressed interest in establishing their business enterprises in Sierra Leone.
It was disclosed that two among Germany’s leading tour operators IKARUS Gmbh, and ARR, have started featuring the country in providing relevant travel information that would encourage business partners to go and explore the country’s potentials. The German tour operators are providing domestic and international tour services to trade visitors across the globe.
