“We shall tap into their network to enable us to reach even more tourists from Europe’s top source markets as we plan for the recovery of the industry.
“The tourism industry has been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, of importance is to remain ready for visitors once travel resumes fully,” said Radier.
