On May 24, 2014, the Fete Afrique is an annual event, will take place to mark the celebration of the Africa Freedom Day. Zambia will take full benefit of the Africa Freedom Day to market itself as the favored tourist destination at the Seychelles Fete Afrique through joint promotion tourism packages.
According to, Felix Chaila, Zambia Tourism Board (ZTB) managing director, this was the beginning of the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Zambia and Seychelles.
The MoU was signed during the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) General Assembly in Livingstone in 2013.
Africa was growing fast, therefore the need to take advantage of the opportunities at the Fete Afrique to promote the two countries’ tourist destinations, said Mr. Chaila.
Mr. Chaila, addressing journalists in Lusaka yesterday, said that the agreement had the provision for joint actions such as the joint marketing, twin holiday destination concept, exchange of knowledge and cultural exchange and technical support.
Seychelles Tourism Ambassador to Zambia, Jamil Din Butt also said at the same function, that Zambia and Seychelles would continue to support each other through the promotion of the joint tourism package called the Twin Holiday Destination.
Mr Butt also said, “It is an excellent opportunity for both our countries to show support to each other along the lines of tourism, culture and more importantly supporting our continent. “It is through relationship like this that we continue to capacity build each other’s destinations and definitely this is the shining example of who we are as Africans and we can have a greater platform on the international scene by working together.”
