The Gambia government has lifted all Covid-19 restrictions in the country while the Minister of Tourism and Culture who had disclosed this at the launch of the World Bank-supported grant of D4.2 billion Tourism Diversification and Resilience in The Gambia Project (TDRGP) held at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Center, Bijilo said it is a hallmark of a new beginning in the country’s tourism sector.
At the last Tuesday launch, Honourable Hamat NK Bah, Minister of Tourism, and Culture was elated about the lift and said “I have good news to make. I convey to you the news from President Adama Barrow that henceforth all COVID-19 restrictions in the country are lifted.”
He said the move was part of President Adama Barrow-led government’s sustainable drive to the promotion of the destination Gambia as the efforts to restore lost tourism glory in light of this multi-million dollar project heightened.
Honourable Amat Bah expressed optimism that the lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions in The Gambia is a hallmark of a new beginning in the country’s tourism sector.
Meanwhile, the Tourism and Culture Minister expressed gratitude and extolled the Gambian leader for the timely consideration of lifting all COVID-19-related restrictions in the country. He arguably explained that this will curtail excess spending on the tourists and other holidaymakers to destination Gambia.
