In the letter, she stated that the event aims to showcase the important developments and attractions of the region while highlighting the role of peace in the socioeconomic development of the area.

“We thank you for your passion and support of the tourism sector and look forward to a successful engagement and organization of World Tourism Day 2024,” the statement concluded.
