GTBoard chairman thanked The Gambia government for its commitment and support to the tourism sector.
He further said the Gambia Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is a key partner for the promotion of tourism in the country “that is why all along they [GCAA] have been improving the facilities at the airport”.
“We would not leave any stone unturned in improving the services at the airport,” Mr Jammeh said, adding that the airport complex is a very dynamic institution since it is the door to the country, particularly for the tourism industry.
He noted that the Gambia government had invested a lot of time and resources in the promotion of tourism all geared towards making The Gambia all-year-round tourism destination.
