Word from the president
During the 2 years of the global pandemic, survival and resilience, TOP Madagascar has not stopped working to support its members, in partnership with its partners.
TOP Madagascar has been on all fronts: development of a mitigation plan, implementation of health protocols for the tourism sector, public-private dialogue, private-private dialogue, training, workshops.
TOP Madagascar has benefited from the Mandrisika program where it has been able to offer a new showcase for its members through this new website. The objective of this project is to improve the visibility and the communication of our association towards the members, the partners and the general public. This site is now our first tool, and has the ambition to be the referencement par excellence of Malagasy professional tour operators members on the international market.
We would like to thank the Ministry of Tourism, Mr. Minister Joel Randriamandranto, the team of the Mandrisika program via the EDBM and the Project PIC 2.2.
We hope that our new site contributes to the influence of each member in this period of recovery.
I wish a good recovery to all!
