Tourism is a powerful vehicle for Africa’s growth by creating jobs, generating revenue, and growing local economies.

Leading tour operators from across Cote d’Ivoire participated in a two-day workshop, held at the Cybastion Tech Academy on Feb. 18-19 in Abidjan, to gain skills in navigating digital tools and maximizing business growth on an eTourism platform.

The eTourism platform, a partnership between Cybastion and the Ivoirian Ministry of Tourism, will feature robust digital tools to attract new tourists and position Côte d’Ivoire as a top African travel destination.

With an anticipated release date of mid-2025, the eTourism platform will enhance the overall customer experience for tourists by creating a centralized marketplace and an electronic payment system. The public-private partnership will be implemented over a 10-year period.
