Minister of Public Telecommunications Catherine Hughes yesterday told local drone operators that their participation in the tourism industry is pivotal to both the sector and the development of the country.
Addressing the opening of an expo on the use of drones in tourism at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, Hughes, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI) said the partnership between the tourism industry and technology has long been a “foregone conclusion.”
“Technology in tourism is inevitable. Drones and tourism marketing in today’s hi-tech world… in this digital era, you cannot have one without the other.”
