Folks, I am glad to inform you that The National assemble yesterday passed a bill entitled ; The Gambia Tourism Authority. This organization when established will take over the role of the National Tourist Office and will operate on commercial basis as a parastatal. The entire sector welcomes the idea. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Yankuba Touray for his dynamic leadership, committment and action oriented approach he has shown since assuming the leadership of the tourism sector together with his able permanent Secretary Mr Bai Ousman Secka. The hotel classification bill will soon reach the house for approval. I will keep you posted. Chi Jamma, Bro. Sheikh Tejan Nyang ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
