President Bio Inspects Key Heritage, Tourism and Environmental Sites

President Julius Maada Bio has undertaken an inspection tour of key heritage, tourism and environmental sites across Sierra Leone, reaffirming his government’s commitment to preserving the nation’s history, promoting sustainable tourism, and protecting its natural resources.

A major highlight of the visit was the President’s trip to Bunce Island, marking the first visit by a sitting Sierra Leonean President to the historic site in four decades. Located in the Sierra Leone River, Bunce Island remains one of West Africa’s most significant historical landmarks and a symbol of the transatlantic slave trade.
