GBV is rated as significant because tourism can increase vulnerability for women & girls. With high national prevalence and workplace power imbalances, risks of harassment and exploitation rise. This project puts safety first—embedding prevention, reporting, and survivor support.

📊 The PIU and Acorn Team met with the Hon. Minister of Tourism, Arts & Culture to brief him on progress in strengthening tourism statistics. At the core is the International Visitor Survey (IVS)—a key TDRGP pillar generating real-time data on who visits, why they come, how long they stay, and how much they spend. This is shaping smarter policy, marketing, investment, and The Gambia’s first Tourism Satellite Account. #TDRGP #IVS #TourismData #MoTAC

🌊 Tourism beyond the beach starts on the River Gambia. From bird sanctuaries to sacred sites and riverine communities, inland waterways open a new way to experience The Gambia. As climate change reshapes coastlines, diversifying inland is strategic — building access, livelihoods, and resilience. The Assessment of River Jetties — a key deliverable of the Tourism Diversification & Resilience in The Gambia Project — is now published: 🔗 bit.ly/455JF4q
