The Chairman, Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the Africa Tourism and Creative Economy Expo (AFTCREE), Malam Denja Abdullahi, has unveiled the “Cultourmetre,” a digital tool to monitor the progress African countries are making in tourism and the creative economy. The Africa Tourism and Creative Economy Expo (AFTCREE) is scheduled to hold from Nov. 24 to 25, in Abuja. “Our mission is to raise Africa’s share of global tourism and creative industry revenue by promoting collaboration, peer review, and investment attraction across the continent. “The President of the Senate, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, will serve as Special Guest of Honour and officially declare the Expo opened,” AFTCREE LOC chairman said in a statement. According to him, Africa must reduce its dependence on foreign aid by harnessing its vast cultural wealth, creative talent, and tourism potential.
