Sierra Leone has recorded strong international interest at the 46th International Tourism Trade Fair (FITUR 2026) in Madrid, with over 1,000 visitors engaging with the country’s tourism stand during the first four days of the event.
The figures were released on Day Five by Mr. Ibrahim Bundu Kamara, Tourism Data Analyst at the National Tourism Board (NTB), who described the turnout as a positive sign for Sierra Leone’s growing global tourism appeal.
According to Mr. Kamara, a total of 1,050 distinct visitors were recorded at the Sierra Leone stand from Day One to Day Four, reflecting a steady increase in inquiries and meaningful engagements throughout the exhibition.
“The interest we are seeing goes beyond casual visits,” Mr. Kamara said. “Many of the discussions held were detailed and focused on Sierra Leone’s tourism potential.”
