A good question: What can we do to promote Gambian Tourism from our various Diaspora locations ?

I think that more Gambian cultural events, such as a Gambian dance troupe on a world tour, could be a good contribution.

After Alex Haley's "Roots" there must be an everlasting African -American interest in doing the trans-Atlantic East for some cultural tourism, and that tradition has to be kept alive….

What works for Ghana can work in the Gambia too:

(Mustapha Tettey Addy an old buddy from Ghana, formerly Master Drummer of the Ghanaian Dance Troupe ) has his Ghanaian cultural tourist village I think run by him and his German wife……For all I know, there are probably plenty of such villages in the Gambia …….

Momodou,

Could you give us some idea of what the Foreign Exchange figures could be in £, $ or Euros, please?
(It's difficult to imagine how many dollars there are in one billion dalasie and even if you give the rate of exchange I would still come up with a wild guess that could be way off the mark.....)

Cornelius, it is not about promotion it is about control and competion, from the UK Gambian Experience has the monopoly on flights and holidays in the off season, since the demise of GIA another story, people have to use monarch airlines throught gambian experience.
second competition, here if you go to a high street travel agent competition is from south africa, kenya and tanzania for sub sahara afric. try it yourself and see.

There is a cultural village at Tanje. It is interesting but low key.

agree on that bev, a bit more internal promotion and knowledge of the country would help. i took one of students to roots he was amazed. I took a friends niece with me on another trip she had never crossed the river.
definately internall promotion would help

Do we still need some kind of "Lady wright" cruise boat to ply the River Gambia?

we might not need a "lady wright" but definately the waterways are under utilised.

The domain .tk is regarded as the most dangerous domain in the whole wide web; it has the highest percentage of malignant sites (viruses, troians etc.) I clicked the link (stupid me!) but didn't go further because I remembered this info.

Check:

Sorry, gambia6005, if your site should be 'clean'. I didn't mean to offend you.

A complete overhaul of Gambia Tourist Authority is needed especially in the area of training for the staff for them to be kept up-to-date with current cultural tourism developments. More funding is needed to finance the promotion budget to keep Gambia firmly placed on the map. Also the different area councils in Gambia could have their own websites to promote their local areas to attract more visitors and create tourist attractions for both internal and external visitors to these different locations in Gambia.

a complete over haul of the web site is needed, also open all the airways to more airlines, i agree the monopoly that gambia experience has on gambia is ridiculous in this day and age.
