The Gambia Tourism Authority (GTA) in collaboration with the Balabo Conservation project and other stakeholders in the tourism sector Wednesday launched a tourism project called 'Wide Open World Arts Exhibition' at the Kairaba Beach Hotel in Kololi.
The project was conceived and initiated by the Balabo Conservation project based in Kombo Central District of the West Coast Region. Balabo Conservation project covers 14 villages located along the river bank of West Coast Region, starting from Makasutu forest, Bafuloto, Kubuneh, Kembujeh, among other villages, and stretches across 85 square kilometres of that region.
The project was established in the year 2004 by the government of The Gambia and the United Nations Tourism Organisation (UNTO). Speaking at the launching ceremony, Binta Jobe, director general of GTA, welcomed the artistes to the Smiling Coast of Africa. The GTA boss spoke at length about the importance the government of The Gambia under the leadership of President Jammeh attaches to the development and promotion of the country's tourism industry, as illustrated in the recent launching of a new tourism logo for The Gambia.
