Cote d'Ivoire: beach resort attack 'horrible act of violence,' says UN tourism agency
UN Monday 14th March, 2016

13 March 2016 -- The United Nations tourism agency today strongly condemned the attack at a hotel in Cote d'Ivoire's beach resort town of Grand Bassam, which reportedly killed more than a dozen people.
"We are appalled by this horrible act of violence," World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Secretary-General Taleb Rifai said in a statement. "Our thoughts at this difficult moment are with the families and friends of the victims and the people of Cote d'Ivoire."
He said UNWTO reaffirmed its full support and confidence in the West African nation's tourism sector which has been growing over the last years.
"We trust that tourism will continue to play a key role in advancing development in Cote d'Ivoire," he said, noting that the country's commercial capital of Abidjan will host a 19-21 April meeting
for the 58th UNWTO Commission for Africa and the 10YFP Sustainable Tourism Conference Symposium.
