Dear Patroits
The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) has consistently demonstrated its power to unite Africa and China in a shared vision of economic growth and sustainable development. As Director General of the Chinese Tourism Promoters Initiative, I, Amb. Phil Roberts. FCISM. FIHSD, recognize the pivotal role tourism can play in further strengthening this vital partnership.
Nigeria, like many African nations, is actively engaged in deepening its economic ties with China, focusing on collaborative efforts across key sectors such as trade, energy, finance, customs, and agriculture. These partnerships, fostered through FOCAC, lay a solid foundation for mutual prosperity.
The Chinese Tourism Promoters Initiative is dedicated to working with African partners to develop innovative tourism strategies that will:
* Increase people-to-people exchanges.
* Promote investment in tourism infrastructure.
* Create new market opportunities for African businesses.
* Showcase African products and services to Chinese tourists.
Together, we can unlock the immense potential of tourism to drive sustainable trade and development between Africa and China.
Sincerely,
Amb. Phil Roberts. FCISM. FIHSD
Director General, Chinese Tourism Promoters Initiative
