The Republic of Togo and the Republic of Congo participated in the International Tourism Trade Fair (FITUR), which was held from January 20 to 24 in Madrid, at the invitation of the Barcelona-based company, Pefaco Hoteles, the hotel subsidiary of Grupo Pefaco.
The collaboration enabled these two African states extensive promotion of their tourist destinations during the event, in which the Spanish capital became the epicentre of global tourism. The representatives of Togo and Congo were able to undertake an extensive campaign to promote their tourism infrastructure and present their new projects to 9 500 companies from 165 countries and regions world-wide.
By participating, Togo and Congo were able to respond to the significant demand for information of tour operators, airlines and the international public in general, about these two destinations that are positioning themselves as international tourism markets.
Germain NDAAM, Director of the Cabinet of the Togolese Ministry of Tourism, head of the Togolese delegation at FITUR, said “Fitur is one of the major tourism fairs which brings together many professionals and takes place in Spain, the second largest tourist destination in arrivals worldwide. The Ministry of Tourism is grateful to Pefaco Hoteles, thanks to whom our country participates in this important event since two years.”
