Exciting news for tourism in West Africa! The West Africa Tourism Organisation (WATO) is set to revolutionise the way we promote and connect the diverse array of attractions in the sub-region. This we aim at achieving through our project “WAIT” the (West Africa Integrated Travel). By bringing together Tourism Boards and Authorities in a joint marketing effort, WAIT is paving the way for a more seamless and unified approach to showcasing all that West Africa has to offer. But WAIT is not just about promotion - it's also about advocating for easier travel within the region. By drawing attention to the obstacles and barriers that currently exist, we hope to influence authorities and policymakers to make the necessary changes to facilitate smoother travel experiences for tourists. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in West African tourism, and get ready to explore all the wonders this beautiful region has to offer. Let's make West Africa a top destination for travelers around the world!
