It was on Tuesday, June 11, that the Ministry in charge of Tourism organized in Ouagadougou, through the General Directorate of Tourism, an awareness-raising session for those subject to this sector on the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

Three papers held last Tuesday as part of the awareness-raising session for actors in the tourism sector. The first was held on general information on the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The second was based on the obligations of taxable persons in the tourism sector in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. Then the last one talks about monitoring the compliance of the obligations of taxable persons in the tourism sector. According to the Director General of Tourism, Monique Ouédraogo/ Ilboudo, this session aims to raise awareness among these actors in the private tourism sector on the issues related to the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Monique Ouedraogo said that as they get closer to those subject to tourism, they realize that there are some who ignore the risk associated with the fight against the financing of terrorism
