The Tourism CS went on to explain that the summit is engaging in discussions about facilitating seamless travel for tourists within the continent, with a focus on improving air and rail transport. 

"It's estimated that the tourism sector will experience a remarkable growth rate of over 5% in the coming year, potentially generating at least 6 million job opportunities for our citizens," he added.
