The Board of Directors of the African Organization for Aviation, Culture, Tourism, and Sustainable Development (AFROACT) discussed mechanisms of implementing its 2020 plans in the presence of AFROACT Honorable President Enan Galaly.
In a statement on Friday, Galaly said that AFROACT seeks to bring about development to all domains in the African states, not only the tourist field.
During the meeting, Galaly stressed the importance of establishing successful trade, touristic, and industrial projects and working with the African governments to develop the neediest regions, according to each government's vision.
He expressed his sorrow for not benefiting from Africans in developing unexploited thousands of kilometers in Africa rather than heading for illegal immigration or being at refugee camps.
According to Galaly, tourism is the best investment that could be pumped in Africa by convincing the governments with respect to the national security, customs, traditions, and culture of each country.
Meanwhile, AFROACT Chairman Hussein Aboul Ata noted that 2020 would witness several events at the African level, affirming the organization's goals in implementing projects developing the human factor and African states in the fields of tourism, culture, and economy.
"This year, AFROACT will hold four important projects, topped by the African youth entrepreneurship forum, AFROACT thinktank, and a big tourist event," AFROACT Secretary-General Dr. Hossam Darwish asserted.
Darwish stated that the organization is currently negotiating with several government agencies to develop some vocational and technical rehabilitation centers to market them on the continent.
Dr. Ramadan Qarni, the organization's scientific adviser, announced a plan to establish a thinktank for African studies, cultural and educational research scientific dimensions and aims to provide accurate information to all sectors in Africa.
