The Region Ten Tourism Committee (RTTC) is taking significant steps to elevate the region’s status as a prime tourist destination.
During their recent Annual General Meeting, the committee announced several key initiatives aimed at boosting tourism and regional development.
One of the major changes includes the formation of a new agro-tourism sub-committee, expanding the total number of sub-committees to five.
This new sub-committee will focus on integrating the region’s agricultural practices into tourism activities, providing visitors with opportunities to explore local farms and learn about food production.
In addition to this, the RTTC has established partnerships with the US Embassy and USAID to advance agro-tourism projects.
The committee has also collaborated with other organizations to support its “Network Through Tourism” initiative.
To enhance its operational effectiveness, the RTTC has expanded its board from four to six members, including the addition of two new female directors.
These developments are part of a broader strategy to empower the local community and improve the region’s tourism offerings.
The committee is preparing for Tourism Awareness Month with a plan to organize twenty-three events designed to boost both tourism and the regional economy.
The ongoing efforts by the RTTC are expected to make a significant impact on Region Ten’s tourism sector and contribute to its overall development.
