Our team has recently returned from a field mission in The Gambia, where we are supporting the preparation of a Visitor Management Plan for the historic villages of Albreda and Juffureh, together with nearby Kunta Kinteh Island — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of profound historical significance linked to the transatlantic slave trade.
During the mission, the team carried out consultation sessions with local community groups, institutions, cultural stakeholders, and tourism actors, gathering valuable insights to help shape a more sustainable, inclusive, and transformative future for the destination.
The visit also offered an opportunity to experience the vibrant cultural identity of the area, from the inspiring Wide Open Walls community mural project to celebrations of Gambian arts and culture.
The next phase of the project will focus on translating these discussions and findings into a strategic platform capable of supporting heritage preservation, community empowerment, and responsible tourism development for future generations.
We are proud to collaborate on this important initiative alongside such dedicated local and international partners.
