As part of the celebration, the Sierra Leone delegation participated in celebrating Sierra Leone National Day, inviting the Sierra Leone Diaspora community based in the UK to contribute to the socio-economic development of the country.

“Tourism in Sierra Leone is an important growing national service industry. Beaches and other natural habitats are the biggest parts of the nation’s tourism industry. This forum has been created to sell Sierra Leone positively to the international community and it will also allow Sierra Leoneans to ask questions about the tourism sector as there are a lot of tourism potentials in the country,” she said and called on Sierra Leoneans in the UK and other parts of the world to promote the country’s culture.
