To move the Congolese economy away from an all-oil economy, the Congolese government has included tourism among the six pillars of the National Development Plan (PND, 2022-2026), along with agriculture and digital technology. Tourism serves as a vehicle to accelerate the growth of other sectors such as transport, hospitality, and crafts.

Serving as a transshipment hub in the Central African sub-region, the Port of Pointe-Noire welcomed its very first cruise ship in early April 2023, carrying 150 tourists of various nationalities. Since obtaining its concession in 2009, the French group Bolloré has provided significant funding for its modernization. The port can accommodate 300-meter-long cargo ships carrying up to 15,000 containers. The Port of Pointe-Noire is the ocean gateway to Central Africa. It is the largest port in Central Africa, but from a tourism perspective, much remains to be done.

The hotel offering has grown considerably and diversified. In Brazzaville, the Grand Hôtel de Kintélé is a 5-star establishment that is part of the International Conference Center located on the northern outskirts of the capital. The Grand Lancaster, the Radisson Blu, the Olympic Palace, the Ramada, and the Mikhael's offer the level of comfort required by business travelers and have meeting rooms spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people from Africa, Europe, the United States, or Asia. Pointe-Noire, the country's second largest city, is no exception when it comes to hotels and conference rooms, whose acoustic and security conditions allow for the smooth running of business meetings.

Ollombo, with its magnificent Pefaco Hotel Alima Palace, also offers all the conditions for business and conference tourism.

THE NEW BUSINESS CENTER OF BRAZZAVILLE
Located in the Mpila district, on the banks of the Congo River, this shopping center, the result of a joint venture with China, consists of two twin towers, each thirty stories high, for a total cost of 174 billion FCFA (289 million dollars).
The first tower will house a five-star hotel with a capacity of 349 rooms, including 20 presidential suites, conference and communication rooms, and other amenities meeting the relevant standards. The second will consist mainly of offices housing public and private services, and whose administrative concentration should impact the business sector and contribute to improving the competitiveness of the national economy by facilitating foreign trade procedures.
