Tourism: Benin finalizes financial framework for BeTTP project with the World Bank

The Benin Tourism Transformation Project (BeTTP) was approved on September 22, 2026, with the World Bank as the financier. This financial framework, in the form of a preparatory grant, will be used to conduct feasibility studies and prepare future investments. Benin is focusing on tourism to diversify its economy, with initiatives like the Vodun Days festival and the arrival of Club Med. The BeTTP may continue a previous World Bank project aimed at increasing tourism's contribution to Benin's GDP.
