The Gambia Tourism Authority with its line Ministry and stakeholder witnessed yet another important miles stone in the celebration of
the 10th edition of the International Roots Home Coming Festival. This event attracted many blacks living in the Diaspora to come and
discover their roots and ancestral home. This weeklong festival exposed the Roots delegates to sample Gambia Tourism potentials and also
the rich culture we are abundantly blessed with.
