AGP Executive Report

Last update: 28 minutes ago

Air Connectivity Boost: ValueJet adds a direct Accra–Banjul route, running Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, making it easier for travellers to reach The Gambia from Ghana. Halal Standards Push: A SMIIC delegation is in The Gambia (June 1–5) training stakeholders on halal quality infrastructure, aiming to strengthen certification and accreditation and position the country as a regional halal hub. Visa Rules That Affect Travel: The US plans to cut visa processing across Africa to just 20 “hub” locations, meaning Gambians may need to travel to Senegal for US visa processing. Regional Mobility Momentum: More African countries are lowering visa barriers for Africans, with Togo and Ghana moving toward visa-free access and e-visa systems for tourism/business. Sports Tourism: The Gambia is preparing to host the 2026 AUSC Region 2 Games in Banjul (June 7–13), expected to bring athletes and visitors and boost hospitality demand. IMF Support: An IMF staff-level agreement in Banjul sets up a possible $8.5m disbursement to support reforms and address pressures linked to the Middle East conflict.
