Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Stakeholders in the tourism industry have joined forces with others to condemn the alleged coup d\u2019etat in the strongest terms stressing the illegality or any force to change the regime in the country that will derail progress registered in the tourism industry as well as scare tourists and visitors alike from visiting the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

The statement followed an attempted coup d\u2019etat planned by seven (7) non-commissioned officers of the Gambia Armed Forces (GAF).<\/p>\n

\u201cAm totally against any forceful change of the regime at this hour of the tourist season, it doesn\u2019t speak well for the country.<\/p>\n

The attempted coup d\u2019etat will have an impact on the tourism industry as it will tell everybody that the country is not safe,\u201d said Sheikh Tijan Nyang, doyen and former director of Gambia Tourism<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAny attempted coup d\u2019etat will derail progress registered in the tourism industry. A lot of efforts have been going on to put the industry back, any attempted coup d\u2019etat will bring a negative impact on the recovery progress of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kebba Makumba Njie, President of Gambia Tourism Federation (GTF) also reacted and condemned any attempt to effect a change of government, noting that the news of a coup d\u2019etat in the country can scare tourists from visiting the destination and will invariably, goes a long way to derail the recovery process of the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe received the news of the attempted coup d\u2019etat with grave shock and dismay. Any attempted coup d\u2019etat will no doubt scare tourists from visiting our country. Looking at all the investments incurred by the state to recover from the damages of the covid-19 pandemic as well as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, it is totally out of order to stage any coup d\u2019etat in the country,\u201d said Kebba Makumba Njie.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that Gambians and non-Gambians depend on the tourism industry for their livelihoods whose jobs will be affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re calling on all and sundry to desist from any negative vices that may be a threat to the tourism industry of the Gambia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
