Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department's posts in Africa are taking to promote UK businesses linked to sustainable tourism.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is working closely with our partners in government, including DFID and UKTI, to deliver a number of UK Government objectives in Africa, particularly to support UK business and drive sustainable economic growth. For example, Her Majesty's Government’s High Level Prosperity Partnerships with Angola, Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Mozambique and Tanzania involves collaborating with UK business across a variety of sectors, though not exclusive to tourism.
