Mentorship for the African Villages in the Best Tourism Villages' Upgrade Programme
As part of the Upgrade Programme of the Best Tourism Villages by UN Tourism Initiative, the African villages that presented gaps in some Areas of Evaluation underwent a customised mentoring process led by international experts in different areas.
This year Il Ngwesi in Kenya and Grande Baie in Mauritius are part of the mentorship programme. In January, an expert designated by UN Tourism, visited both villages and engaged in on-site sessions for mentoring purposes.
The mentorship process not only provided valuable guidance but also facilitated the collection of on-the-ground feedback from village stakeholders and national authorities. This feedback played a crucial role in evaluating the effectiveness of the mentorship and identifying potential avenues for improvement.
Following the mentorship, a Recommendations Report with robust and goal-specific actions and activities will be shared with the village. Villages can use it as a baseline document to adjust their strategies and implement the necessary actions for improvement, so they can access the fast-track process to become a Best Tourism Village by UN Tourism.
