Implementation and investment mapping:

The ministers welcomed the development of a concise investment mapping that
identifies priority projects and enabling reforms in tourism and related sectors
such as aviation, logistics, infrastructure and digital across participating countries.
The projects submitted by participating countries under the investment mapping

are estimated to require a total investment of approximately USD 6 billion and are
projected to generate 70,000 direct and indirect jobs collectively.

Furthermore, the ministers invited development partners and institutional

investors to engage with this pipeline and explore appropriate instruments
including public-private partnerships (PPPs), blended finance, debt-for-nature
swaps and guarantees, and agreed to maintain a light coordination mechanism to
track progress and report to the next ministerial gathering.

The meeting concluded with the ministers expressing their appreciation for the

efforts of the UAE government and the Ministry of Economy and Tourism in
hosting the UAE-Africa Tourism Investment Summit and for their generous
hospitality.
