Mr Sanneh.
Thanks for your quick response i really appreciate it.However i hope
as you indicated the Gambia should come back to the tourish market
and bring the industry in a better shape.But ofcourse i do also believe
this Government back home is not encouraging investors fully into these
areas campared to most of our neighbours.I know there are talented
folks in the sector back home like Mr Nyang and others but the regime
has to put more efforts to attract investors and avoid the failures we are
experiencing from the past years.Once again thanks for your prospects
on this issue and god bless you.
Respect
Fye.
