In the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the province of Kongo Central, a project of capital importance for the promotion of local cultural and historical heritage is taking shape. Indeed, during the first conference on Africa-America tourism, Minister Didier M’Pambia announced the construction of a museum in Nsiafumu, located in the territory of Moanda. This museum, a true tribute to the Afro-descendants whose ancestors left the Congo Basin, will be an emblematic place symbolizing the close ties between these two cultures.
During this event, the Minister highlighted the Congolese ecotourism potential and stressed the importance of creating this museum to attract Afro-descendants in search of their roots. Nsiafumu, the starting point of millions of ancestors, will thus become a place full of history and memory, offering visitors an immersion in the past and traditions of this region.
In addition to the construction of this museum, the Democratic Republic of Congo also managed to seduce during the first International Tourism Day in the Dominican Republic. Indeed, the country obtained the upcoming organization of a meeting of Latin American Tourism Ministers for a Rumba festival, which will highlight the cultural wealth of Congo. A unique opportunity to present a positive image of the country, rich in opportunities and tourist sites to discover.
Furthermore, during his meeting with the President of the Executive Committee in Georgia, the Minister of Tourism obtained a financial partnership for the opening of a training school in the field of tourism. This project will strengthen the skills of Congolese professionals in the sector and promote the development of tourism in the country.
Despite the difficulties encountered by the tourism sector due to past conflicts and the destruction of infrastructure, the Democratic Republic of Congo is actively working on its recovery. Thanks to public-private partnerships and a strategy focused on domestic tourism, the country aims to restore its image and once again attract visitors from around the world. With a population of 100 million and the emergence of a middle class, the tourism potential of Congo is immense, and its renaissance in this field is now a reality.
In short, the construction of the museum in Nsiafumu, the organization of the Rumba festival and the opening of the tourism training school are all elements that demonstrate the desire of the Democratic Republic of Congo to highlight its cultural heritage and reconnect with its glorious tourism past. This country is full of treasures to discover, and there is no doubt that these initiatives will contribute to making Congo a must-see destination on the international tourism scene.
