The Office of the President of European Council on Tourism and Trade has said that the President of Djibouti Ismail Omar Guelleh has been selected as a World Leader of Tourism and a member of European Tourism Academy for his “recognition of the role and significance of tourism on the world stage.”
This would encourage Djibouti’s leadership to continue development and poverty reduction via growth of tourism.
As per the letter signed by the council’s president, Professor Anton Caragea, and European Tourism Academy Director Mircea Constantinescu for Djibouti’s president:
“Under your leadership, the government of Republic of Djibouti has for a long time recognized and promoted the importance of culture and tourism as key facilitators for the country’s development and international promotion. According to the World Bank’s most recent report on the world economy, Guelleh’s developmental policies lifted Djibouti out of poverty and elevated it to the world’s top five fastest growing economies in 2018.”
