Director of Economic Development, Damian Burns, represented St Helena at the Tourism Investment Forum Africa (TIFA) in Cape Town last week as part of the World Travel Market (WTM) Africa. At the forum, Damian unveiled the St Helena Investment Prospectus 2024, highlighting the investment and commercial opportunities available in the region.
Speaking about the launch of the prospectus, Damian Burns stated, “Our island is an emerging destination with significant tourism potential and untapped investment opportunities. We are seeking investors who are looking for responsible, sustainable, and equitable opportunities, with adventurous spirits who wish to foster strong relationships with our community. TIFA provided the ideal platform to speak to such investors, and I was impressed with the level and range of interest shown in the opportunities our island offers.”
Damian emphasized the importance of events like TIFA in enhancing St Helena’s visibility and attracting international investors and visitors. He noted, “Participation in events such as these not only enhance St Helena’s visibility but also confirm its status as a globally important destination, ready to welcome increased visitor numbers and international investors.”
The St Helena Investment Prospectus 2024, which outlines the government’s vision for the region, is now available online for potential investors to explore. Additionally, the ‘Invest in St Helena’ video, showcasing the island's appeal, can be viewed on the St Helena Government YouTube channel.
