At the Microsoft Government Leaders Forum Africa on Tuesday, Microsoft announced a number of initiatives in cooperation with local and global organizations that are aimed in part at boosting tourism in Africa as a way to spur economic development on the continent.
A partnership between Microsoft and the United Nations World Tourism Organization plans to use technology to introduce new services that can improve tourist access to information and offer distance training. As part of the cooperation, Microsoft will support UNWTOs collaboration with the New Partnership for Africa's Development to create a portal called Windows on Africa.
