After an absence of more than 10 years at the International Exhibition of Tourism and Travel in Paris, Mauritania has returned again to “woo” investors in the tourism sector.
Indeed, the country has decided to participate in this event this year (from 25 to 28 September) to revive its tourism, which is long sought.
This exhibition, the fortieth edition of the genre will allow the Mauritanian and French side to address the tourist season 2018/2019, but also the launch of a series of tourist flights between Paris and Nouakchott, October 20.
According to statistics, the resumption of charter flights, particularly those of Paris – Atar, has generated a resurgence of tourist activities over the period 2017/2018. This link alone has generated nearly one million euros over the same period.
Recall that since 2017, the Mauritanian authorities have adopted incentives to boost Mauritanian tourism. To this end, visa prices have dropped by 200%, from 120 euros to 40 euros.
