The participation aligns with a broader push to position Sierra Leone as a compelling destination in West Africa, leveraging WTM’s global reach to attract travelers and investment.
UK arrivals to Sierra Leone rose from 6,000 in 2023 to 12,000 in 2024, marking an impressive doubling in a single year. This 12,000-arrival increase signals strong market interest and potential for continued growth compared with prior years.

The delegation’s presence at WTM is a strategic opportunity to form new partnerships, secure joint marketing initiatives, and showcase Sierra Leone’s cultural heritage, pristine coastal destinations, and emerging ecotourism experiences.
With the UK market showing robust growth, Sierra Leone is well-positioned to capitalize on travel demand, diversify source markets, and sustain momentum into 2025 and beyond.
As Sierra Leone continues its concerted tourism development effort, events like WTM London are critical touch points for attracting visitors, unlocking new collaborations, and reinforcing the nation’s standing as one of must-visit destination in West Africa from this TGR.
