The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) have joined three aviation organisations to rally support for Africa’s travel and tourism division. The group are calling on foreign financial institutions, country development partners and international donors to support Africa’s tourism sector which employs 24.6 million people on the continent.

New research by the World Travel & Tourism Council suggests that up to 75 million jobs are at immediate risk in the travel and tourism sector due to the coronavirus pandemic.
