develop its tourism. When we submitted our bid in Addis Ababa in 2017 that we
will host the first CAF meeting, it was unanimously accepted. Since then we have
been working round the clock to ensure that we are going to give CAF members a
treat they have never seen anywhere before,” he said.

UNWTO/CAF meeting to showcase the country’s rich tourism potentials, particularly
