On Wednesday, May 28, 2025, the Minister of Tourism and Leisure of Côte d’Ivoire, Mr. Siandou Fofana, held a meeting with Mr. Fatih Bora, President-CEO, and Mr. Yusuf Baykan, Chief Financial Officer of FB GROUP — a renowned Turkish investment company specializing in the design and construction of large-scale infrastructure such as hotels, airports, shopping centers, and other major facilities.

This meeting took place as part of a multisectoral exploratory mission that brought the Turkish delegation to Abidjan, aiming to engage with several key strategic ministries identified as priorities by the investors.

During the meeting, Minister Fofana presented FB GROUP with numerous investment opportunities within the tourism and leisure sector, aligned with the national strategy "Sublime Côte d’Ivoire." Côte d’Ivoire offers exceptional tourism potential, combining rich cultural heritage, remarkable biodiversity, and diverse geographical landscapes. These assets present attractive prospects for the development of hotel complexes, leisure parks, conference centers, and other key infrastructures with strong economic impact.

In the coming days, visits to priority sites will be organized to allow FB GROUP to better understand the local context and refine their investment strategy.

This meeting marks a new step in strengthening international partnerships and confirms the growing interest of foreign investors in Côte d’Ivoire, particularly in its tourism sector — a key driver of growth, sustainable development, and job creation.
