This Thursday, October 10, 2024, Mr. Fidèle Aymar Tamini, Secretary General of the Ministry of Communication, Culture, Arts, and Tourism, presided over a press conference in Ouagadougou. The objective of the conference was to announce the key aspects of the event and to present the official visual of this 14th edition of the International Tourism and Hospitality Fair of Ouagadougou (SITHO).

This edition, which will be held from November 28 to December 1, 2024, at the SIAO Exhibition Park, will be under the theme "Tourism, a factor for enhancing identities and cultural diversity." This theme highlights the importance of tourism in promoting the cultural richness of Burkina Faso and beyond.

The major innovation this year is the creation of the "AES Pavilion," a unique gastronomic space that will bring together the communities of the three member countries of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). This space will be the convergence point of flavors and culinary traditions, allowing visitors to discover and taste the diversity of these cultures through their gastronomic heritage. 

SITHO 2024 is shaping up to be a must-attend event for tourism professionals, national and international visitors, and all cultural discovery enthusiasts.

This edition will have the Cascades region as the guest of honor.
