By: Prince Joeway

As Tourism being one of the key pillows of the Government ARREST Agenda, the Government of Liberia through the department of Tourism, at the Ministry of Information Cultural Affairs and Tourism, has announced a strategic move to refurbish and
reconditioned at about fifteen new Ecotourism sites in the Country by the end of 2029.

Addressing MICAT Press on Tuesday in Monrovia, Assistant Minister for Tourism, Ministry of Information Cultural Affairs and Tourism, Atty. Dogba K. Norring, Jr. revealed that the government decision came in the wake of an ongoing feasibility study that is being conducted under the PSIP project, and a quest to rebuild the Liberia's Tourism sector.

"The Liberian government intends to see at least fifteen new Ecotourism sites by the end of 2029, that is; Ecotourism sites like Nimba etc."

"We have embarked on a feasibility study for at least three new ecotourism sites throughout Liberia, and the natural heritage sites affect three Counties, namely; Grand Cape Mount, Gbarpolu and B**g."

According to Atty. Norring, the PSIP project will also capture the renovations and rebranding of a few historical heritage sites in the Country.

" Also as part of this project, there will be rehabilitation of a few historical heritage sites, key amongst those is the Indiana City, which is one of our most pride heritage sites, and as part of that progress under the President's agenda if in this PSIP period, we are going to work with the Major, to whether we cleaned and restore Indiana so that it can be open to the public for tours."

Ecotourism is a new kind of Tourism that encourages responsible travel to natural places with a focus on protecting the environment, helping local communities stay healthy, and educating visitors on conversation and protecting efforts.

It's also a holistic approach to tourism that tires to minimize the negative effects of travel while minimizing the benefits it can provide to the environment.

Govt. to join other countries across the globe to commemorate World Refugee Day.

By: Prince Joeway

The Government of Liberia is set and well prepared to join the rest of the world on June 20, 2025 to celebrate World Refugee Day.

Addressing the Ministry of Information Cultural Affairs and Tourism regular press briefing on Tuesday, deputy spokesperson of the Government, Hon. Daniel Sando, revealed that this year's event which is slated to be held under the theme "Community as a Superpower," seeks to encourage and support community solidarity with refugees through engagement, fighting against discrimination, and treating refugees with dignity amongst others.

"Liberia will join the rest of the World to celebrate World Refugees Day on June 20, 2025, at the Monrovia City Hall."

According to Minister Sando, the set and historic event will commence with a grand parade from the Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS) on Lynch Street to the Monrovia City Hall, where an Indoor program will take place, follow by some Outdoor sporting activities at the PHP Redemption Park In Monrovia.

World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe. It falls each year on 20 June and honours the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.

World Refugee Day shines a light on the rights, needs and dreams of refugees, helping to mobilize political will and resources so refugees cannot only survive but thrive. While it is important to protect and improve the lives of refugees every single day, international days like World Refugee Day help to focus global attention on the plight of those fleeing conflict or persecution. Many activities held on World Refugee Day create opportunities to support refugees.

The Day was held globally for the first time on 20 June 2001 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. It was originally known as Africa Refugee Day, before the United Nations General Assembly officially designated it as an international day in December 2000.
