The African Tourism Board (ATB) is pleased to announce its collaboration with Afreximbank aimed at promoting tourism and agrotourism investment opportunities in São Tomé and Príncipe. This initiative is part of the forthcoming São Tomé and Príncipe Investment Forum (STEP), which is set to take place on 18-19 September 2024.
This partnership goes beyond the confines of the forum, as both ATB and Afreximbank are dedicated to positioning São Tomé and Príncipe as a premier destination for tourism and agrotourism investments within Africa. With its abundant biodiversity, rich cultural heritage, and potential for sustainable development, São Tomé presents a distinctive opportunity for investors eager to support the advancement of Africa’s tourism industry.
ATB is committed to collaborating with its network of stakeholders and investors throughout Africa and beyond to identify long-term investment opportunities in the tourism infrastructure, eco-tourism, and agrotourism sectors of São Tomé. This initiative aims to stimulate local economies and generate sustainable employment opportunities.
In partnership with Afreximbank, ATB’s objective is to assist São Tomé and Príncipe in establishing itself as a significant contributor to Africa’s tourism sector.
ATB will achieve this by enabling strategic investments that will improve the nation’s ability to draw international visitors while advocating for responsible and environmentally sustainable tourism practices.
The African Tourism Board (ATB) and Afreximbank invite stakeholders and investors who are interested to explore the STEP Forum and the investment opportunities currently available in São Tomé and Príncipe. This event is set to offer significant insights into the growth potential within tourism, agrotourism, and various other essential sectors.
