In its dogged determination to promote tourism in The Gambia, the Association of Small Scale Entrepreneurs in Tourism (ASSET) in partnership with Timbooktoo Book Shop recently established a tourism information centre called Cultural Encounters.

The centre, housed on the 1st floor of Timbooktoo Book Shop, is basically out to provide travellers and researchers a window of opportunity to have easy access to information about tourism as well as to promote ASSET members who produce handicraft works.

The Centre, which also has a trendy café, is managed by Mr. Badou Bobb, a seasoned tourism stakeholder.
