Speaking to journalists shortly after the landing of the aircraft, Foday Bah, head of marketing at Gambia Tourism Board, said: "This year's tourist season is showing a good sign as we are here to receive the maiden flight from UK.

"As a tourism board, we have worked on our strategies, and part of these strategies is to engage tour operators and airlines to see how best we can collaborate with them."

Bah told journalists that this year's expectations are high, and we believe that the figures are going to increase, adding that the GTBoard and the Ministry of Tourism have put a lot of measures in place to ensure that tourists enjoy their stay and stay safe.
