ABOUT US

I have been in the Travel Business since 1994 when I created my first company in Dakar named Lasavane Travel.
In addition to ticketing we have initiated and implemented several actions or collaborations focused on tourism.
- We have organized with the Ministry of Tourism, researchers from IFAN, academics, tourism professionals and the Ministry of Culture, two days of reflection on the theme: Cultural Encounter Tourism, at Dakar Chamber of Commerce.
- We have also organized Women Encounter and Exchange days in the CASAMANCE Region from BIGNONA to OUSSOUYE with a permanent exhibition at the KADIANDOUMAME hotel of ZIGUINCHOR. The idea of standardization of local products to facilitate the sale abroad by the ITA came from these meetings between women of all Senegalese areas.
-On the sidelines of the ECOWAS International Fair in Dakar, we initiated meetings that led to the organization of an association of professionals in the tourism sector, of which I was appointed President of the provisional bureau.
