NEW YORK -- Cameroon is looking to grab its share of the tourism
spotlight.
The republic will serve as host to the Africa Travel
Association's fifth Ecotourism, Trade & Investment Symposium
this year. The conference is set to take place Nov. 25 to 30.
In October, a Cameroon delegation met with ATA chapter
presidents in Washington, New York, Atlanta and New York to answer
questions and reassure them about security concerns.
The republic, which is about the size of California, is hoping
to spur interest in travel and investment from ATA members
attending the show.
Cameroon is promoting its game parks, beaches and chain
properties, including Hilton, Ibis and Sofitel. The registration
fee is $725 per person, double; $925, single.
The rate covers all symposium functions, five nights'
accommodations at the Hilton Yaounde, breakfast and most meals.
Pre- and post-conference trips are available.
