Thirty African Tourism Ministers discussed in Tunisia the opportunities of developing tourism in the region é Current Challenges and Issues for African Tourism: What solutions can be adopted to ensure its competitiveness? T he 54th meeting of the Commmittee of the World Tourism Organization for Africa closed in Tunis on April 26, 2013 after havving lasted from April 24. The Director General of ICDT, Mr. El Hassane HZAINE, participated in this meeting and in the Internnational Conference on Current Challenges and Issues for African Tourism: What solutions can be adopted to ensure its competitivenness?. UNWTO forecasts that by 2020, Africa will receive 85 million international tourist arrivals and 134 million in 2030, representing 6.3% and 7.4% of international tourist arrivals respectively worldwide. Thirty African Tourism Ministers attended these two events along with several international experts. Mr.Taleb Rifaii, the Secretary Genneral of the World Tourism Organnization also took part in the meetting. The debate on African tourism was introduced by several conferences, including the improvement of the visa facilitation and air connectivitty to enhance the competitiveness of African destinations and the role of communication technologies in promoting African tourism destinattions. According to the barometer of the World Tourism Organization, 990 million tourists were recorded in 2011 and 503 million in Europe, with a regression of 6%, because of the situation that prevailed in several Arab countries, following the Arab Spring. The number of tourists slightly exceeded one billion in 2012, including 505 milllion for Europe, 216 million in AsiaPacific, 156 million in the Americas and 50 million in Africa remained unchanged.

With the growth of 6% of internnational tourist arrivals in 2012, Africa stands as one of the most promising areas for tourism comppanies and entrepreneurs. UNWTO forecasts that by 2020, Africa will receive 85 million internnational tourist arrivals and 134 million in 2030, representing 6.3% and 7.4% of international tourist arrivals respectively worldwide. But, at present, Africa receives barely 5% of the global potential tourists. As such, it has still many challenges to overcome so as to enter international competition. That is why the 54th meeting of the Committee of the World Tourrism for Africa had to focus on such an issue. r TUNISAIR YOUR PARTNER ALL OVER THE WORLD TIJARIS 131 MAY-JULY 2013 OIC NEWS HE Prof. Dr. Ekmeleddin IHSANOGLU receives the Turkish Minister for European Union Affairs at the OIC Headquarters HE Prof. Dr. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu concludes his official visit to Guyana His HE Prof. Dr. Ekmeleddin IHSANOGLU, Secretary GENERAL OF THE OIC é an opportunity of excange of views on further development of relations between the OIC and Turkey and the OIC and the European Union.

Ce pilier repose sur la valorisattion du “pétrole gris”, c’est-à-dire les ressources humaines gabonnaises, telles définies par le Préssident de la République : «nous devons commencer aujourd’hui à préparer notre économie et notre jeunesse». Un Gabon des servicces est un Gabon qui vendra des «cellules grises». Il faut donc développer la formation, hautemment qualifiante à l’étranger, ou en ouvrant de nouvelles écoles pour y former les jeunes, en y reccrutant les meilleurs formateurs. Pour la réalisation de ce Gabon des services à valeur ajoutée, il a été envisagé de faire du pays le numéro 1 africain du tourisme d’affaires grâce à la création et au développement des infrast- tructures, d’un contexte favorabble aux séminaires, congrès et autres conférences internationalles. Le Gabon devra ensuite devvenir un pôle d’excellence dans la formation “aux métiers de la forêt et du bois, de la métallurggie, du tourisme, du design et de l’architecture, de l’environnemment, de l’informatique et de la communication”. Pour ce faire, le Président Ali Bongo Ondimba et son Gouvernemment ont démontré leur capacité d’ouverture, de rassemblement et de dialogue. Leur politique volontariste vise à construire un Gabon plus productif, plus prosppère, plus juste et plus équitable dédié à la mise en œuvre de la politique de l’émergence. Ils aspirent à un Gabon qui se caractérise par l’innovation, une classe moyenne dominante, une pauvreté inexistante, une croissance économique forte, une population d’hommes et de femmes bien formés et bénéficiant de services sociaux de qualité. Le Gabon émergent «c’est le Gabon où existe une économie de servicces portée par une infrastructure numérique de pointe, structurrée et animée par de multitudes PME-PMI dans tous les secteurs d’activités».

L’une des priorités du Président de la République é Le Projet de société du Président de la République : ’’L’Avenir en Confiance», préconise la diversification de la base productive de l’économie du pays en vue de faire du Gabon un pays émergent à l’horizon 2025. Pour réussir cet objectif, une restructuration en profondeur du secteur agricole s’impose . Afin d’assurer son autonomie alimentaire, le Gabon oeuvre pour produire des denrées de première nécessité et diversiffier les sources de croissance et de développement durabble; ainsi, il faudrait bâtir une agriculture, une pêche et une aquaculture moderne, garanttissant la sécurité alimentaire du pays. Actuellement le sectteur agricole emploie environ 95% de la population gabonaisse, bien qu’il ne contribue qu’à 5% du PIB. Les cultures vivrièrres sont les productions princcipales au Gabon. Le pourcenttage de terres agricoles non cultivées est de plus de 20 milllions d’hectares, d’où le potenttiel pour de nouvelles cultures gabonaises et une répartition équitable. Les cultures vivrièrres au Gabon se constituent du manioc, de la banane planttain, de l’arachide, du taro, de l’igname, de la patate douce et du maïs. En 2009, le Gabon a lancé une politique agricole nationale destinée à régénérer l’industrie du cacao et du café. Le Gabon produit actuellement environ 300 tonnes par an de café et de cacao, exportés en Espagne, en France, aux Pays-Bas et aux États-Unis. La politique de réhabilitation des plantations a permis de porter cette production à 2 500 tonnes en 2012/13. 1000 hectares de terrain sont acttuellement cultivés (700 ha de plantations rénovées et 300 ha de plantations nouvelles). Le Président Ali Bongo Ondimba a mis au cœur du pilier «Gabbon Vert» un programme de sécurité alimentaire destiné à conduire le Gabon à l’Emerggence. Cette ambition oblige le département de l’agricultture à réviser les stratégies et à concevoir de nouveaux objectifs pour faire avancer le Gabon. La politique du pilier Gabon vert du Président s’apppuie sur un programme agriccole de sécurité alimentaire L’objectif du gouvernement est de porter la contribution de l’agriculture à 20 % du PIB TIJARIS 2013 TIJARIS131 131MAI-JUILLET MAY-JULY 2013 48 48 de croissance (PASAC) dont les objectifs sont de mettre en œuvre un programme nattional de sécurité alimenttaire (PNSA); exportations agricoles en difficulté (PREA) ; initier et conduire un proggramme agricole de producttion intensive (PAPI). LES ENJEUX DU GABON INDUSTRIEL PA R S E CT E U R Depuis 2009 et l’accession au pouvoir d’Ali Bongo Ondimba, la filière bois est en plein essor et occupe une place de choix dans le paysage industriel gabbonais. La filière est un parfait exemple qui montre la voie à suivre pour l’émergence du pays à l’horizon 2025. La forêt, potentiel incontournabble pour l’écosystème régional, est un réel atout économique pour le Gabon. Second potenttiel forestier d’Afrique, elle couvre 200.000 km2, soit 85% du territoire gabonais et comptte plus de 400 essences d’arbre. D’une richesse écologique inestimable, le potentiel marchand de la forêt gabonnaise reste à développer. Il est aujourd’hui estimé à 400 millions de m3 (dont 130 millions de m3 d’Okoumé).

C’est la troisième source d’énergie consommé dans le monde, après le pétrole et le charbon. L’Etat gabonais veut se donnner les moyens de mettre à contribution le secteur gazzier dans la diversification de l’économie de manière durable. L’industrie du gaz va ainsi devenir un vecteur naturel du tissu socio-économique et participera au relèvemment du niveau de vie des Gabonais. Le Gabon a l’ambition de développer la production et l’utilisation domestique, ainsi que l’exportation de cette source d’énergie durrable qu’est le gaz.

Déccouvert en 1895 il est l’un des derniers grands gisements au monde jamais exploités. La teneur en fer qui en est extraite est de 64%, ce qui en fait le premier gisement de sa catégorie sur la planète. Ses résserves sont aujourd’hui estimées à 1 milliard de tonnnes. Outre le gisement de fer de Bélinga, on dénombre d’autres Gabon : Un potentiel gazier estimé à 39 milliards de m3 gisements dénommés Batoualla, Boka-Boka et Minkébé. L’exploitation de fer est un secteur particulièrement prommetteur : actuellement, la demmande d’acier à l’internationnal ne cesse de s’intensifier, en particulier dans les pays émergents tels que l’Inde ou le Brésil. Les experts en industrie exttractive estiment que la demmande mondiale aura une tellle incidence sur les cours du fer que celui-ci pourrait voir sa tonne augmenter de 50 à 90% sur les comptoirs internnationaux. L’exploitation du gisement de fer de Belinga soutient la vallorisation locale des matières premières au Gabon permetttant ainsi au pays de devenir un «hub métallurgique» et de créer une dynamique entreppreneuriale locale. L’exploitation du gisement de fer dans le cadre du Gabon Inddustriel entraînera en outre la construction d’infrastructures qui induiront nécessairement le développement d’autres secteurs: la construction de la nouvelle ligne de chemin de fer entre Belinga et Librevville d’une longueur de 561,5 km est l’autre projet-phare de l’exploitation; la constructtion d’un port commercial en eau profonde à Santa Clara est également à l’ordre du jour.

La route est le mode de transport dominant. Elle assure 80 à 90% du transport des personnes et des biens. Les infrastructures ferroviairr res. Les voies ferrées du Gabbon courent sur 658 km suivant un axe unique reliant le port d’Owendo, dans la banlieue sud de Libreville, à Francevville, capitale de la province du Haut-Ogooué. La société d’exploitation du Transgabonais (SETRAG) a annoncé la réception de deux nouveaux trains en 2011. Ce programme est relatif au renforcement du transport sur l’axe Libreville–Moanda-Francceville. Par ailleurs, la SETRAG va acqquérir d’un autorail diessel pour desservir larégion de la Lopé. Infrastructures aéroportuaires. Le Gabon dispose de 44 aéropports public dont trois internattionaux (Libreville, Port-Gentil et Franceville). L’aéroport intternational de Libreville, qui accueille la majorité des vols à destinations multiples, se voit rattrapé par la ville. Le gouvernement a donc déccidé de déplacer l’aéroport à 60 km de Libreville, sur le site d’Andem qui couvre une superfficie de 1500. La construction du nouvel aéroport à Antem sera un moyen de développer cette banlieue proche de Librevville et d’y créer plus de 3000 emplois. Les Infrastructures fluviales et maritimes. Le développement des infrastructures fluviales et maritimes représente un vérittable défi pour le Gabon. Le projet d’établir le littoral comme zone d’action prioritaire vise l’établissement d’un cadre institutionnel de gestion et de développement durable de la réggion côtière. Le gouvernement gabonais, en collaboration avec le Japon, a décidé d’accorder 2,465 millions de dollars pour la réalisation de ce projet dont l’objectif est de répondre au problème de préservation de la zone côtière gabonaise.

En plein développement au Gabon Dans son projet de société « l’Avenir en Confiance», le Président Ali Bonggo Ondimba reconnaît l’importtance de bâtir une infrastructure de base dans le domaine des Nouvelles Technologies de l’Informattion et de la Communication (NTIC), pour contribuer au développement économique global du pays. Le Gabon compte actuellement 40.000 téléphones fixes 350.000 abonnés à la téléphonie mobile; 55000 utillisateurs d’Internet, représentant 5% de la popullation; 13.000 abonnés PSTN; 210 cafés Internet. Le pays place les télécommunicattions et les NTIC au centre de son développement économique et social. En faisant du «Gabon des Services» l’un des trois piliers de l’économie du Gabon, le gouvernnement s’est engagé dans la mise en œuvre d’une stratégie sectorrielle dont l’un des axes concerne la redynamisation de la formation sur les NTIC. Depuis mai 2002, Libreville a été raccordée au câble sous-marrin SAT qui relie l’Afrique à l’Eurrope. En plus de la privatisation des Télécom du Gabon et le dévveloppement rapide du marché de la téléphonie mobile, la libéralisation du secteur a pour but de placer le Gabon comme leader régional en Afriqque Centrale en développant des services d’Intternet à haute vitesse; en amélliorant la qualité et la facilité d’acccès aux télécommmunications et l’interconnexion des réseaux nationaux ; en développant au niveau national et transnational des activités de services reliées aux Technologies d’Information et de Communicattion ; et en construisant un centre d’apprentissage pour ces nouvellles technologies. Le développement des NTIC et des télécommunications se fera nottamment grâce à la mise en œuvvre d’une infrastructure haut débit en fibre optique sur l’ensemble du territoire national et à l’introducttion de la téléphonie mobile de troisième génération, dite téléphonnie 3G. De nombreux projets sont prévus dans ce secteur. Le Gabon étant partenaire du projet de câble sous marin à fibre optique ACE, celui-ci va raccorder la côte ouest africaine à l’Europe. D’autant plus, la mise en place du réseau de fibre optique de Libreville à Mayumba avec une boucle sur Port-Gentil. L’objectif de ce déploiement est d’atteindre «le Gabon Numérique».

La Charte des investissements consacre une nouvelle définition du rôle de l’Etat agissant en partenariat avec le secteur privé À l’aide de cette Charte, la République Gabonaise réaffirme son engagement dans une stratégie de développement économique et social basée sur l’épanouissement du secteur privé. La Charte d’Investissement consacre une nouvelle définition du rôle de l’Etat agissant en parttenariat avec le secteur privé. Elle énonce les objectifs et les mécannismes mis en oeuvre pour favorriser l’investissement, l’expansion des entreprises et des activités individuelles sans discrimination selon l’origine de l’investisseur enttrepreneur ou le secteur d’activité dans lequel il opère. Dans certains secteurs d’activité, notamment ceux liés à l’exploitation et à la transformation des ressources naturelles, des codes spécifiques viennent compléter la présente charte des investissements au regard des dispositions techniqques et financières particulières adoptées pour ces secteurs. Le cadre institutionnel, les textes léggislatifs et réglementaires ont été adaptés pour atteindre l’objectif de modernisation, de simplification et de clarté devant faciliter l’acttivité économique et assurer sa régulation de façon transparente et équitable. Ainsi, la République gabonaise garantie à toute perssonne physique ou morale étabblie ou désireuse de s’établir au Gabon en respectant les règles spécifiques liées à certains sectteurs d’activité, la liberté d’entrepprendre toute activité de producttion, de prestation de services ou de commerce quelle que soit sa nationalité; égalité de traitement dans l’exercice d’une activité suivvant les principes et prestations de la loi sur la concurrence et les missions confiées aux agences de régulation sectorielles autonnomes; les droits de propriété att- tachés aux terrains, immeubles, matériels d’exploitation et ceux attachés aux biens mobiliers, valleurs mobilières, brevets et autres éléments relevant de la propriété industrielle et intellectuelle ; la dilligence des procédures d’attributtion ou d’acquisition des terrains et de délivrance des titres foncciers ; la faculté à un investisseur étranger de rapatrier les capitaux investis et les bénéfices réalisés par son exploitation, ainsi que le rapatriement des économies sur salaires réalisées par son perssonnel expatrié; l’accès aux devvises étrangères et la liberté de transfert des capitaux dans le caddre des règles de la zone franc, et plus particulièrement celle de la Banque des Etats de l’Afriqque Centrale (BEAC); l’applicattion équitable et transparente du droit des affaires adopté confo- TIJARIS 2013 TIJARIS131 131MAI-JUILLET MAY-JULY 2013 60 60 7 raisons d’investir au Gabon é Une stabilité politique é Des fondamentaux économiques forts é Un hub sous régional naturel é Un poumon vert de la planète é Des infrastructures aux standards internationaux é Un environnement des affaires favorable é Une richèsse naturelle inouïe TIJARIS 131 MAY-JULY 2013 61 SPÉCIAL GABON mément au traité de l’Organisattion pour l’Harmonisation du droit des affaires en Afrique (OHADA); l’application équitable et transp- parente du droit du travail et du droit de la sécurité sociale élaboré conformément au traité de la conférence interafricaine de prévoyance sociale (CIPRES); l’indépendance et la compétence professionnelle des tribunaux et juridictions spécialisées. Cadre Juridique pour l’investissement au Gabon. Un environnement favorable aux affaires Le Gabon, pour assurer l’exp- ploitation de ses ressources natturelles, a mis en place un cadre juridique et fiscal favorable aux investissements étrangers. La prospérité économique du pays, sa situation géographiqque privilégiée, la stabilité politique et sociale qu’il garantit et les infrast- tructures d’accueil proposées ont déjà encouragé de nombreux invvestisseurs étrangers, tous sectteurs confondus, à s’implanter au Gabon. Le Président Ali Bongo Ondimbba entend poursuivre sur cette lancée et favoriser les investtissements en facilitant encore davantage les démarches adminnistratives. Il a dit à ce propos : « Un cadre juridique et réglementtaire favorable aux partenariats publics privés sera rapidement mis en place pour favoriser une forte implication du secteur privvé national et international dans tous les projets».

Un Secteur en pleine croissance é Le paysage gabonais dispose de nombreux atouts touristiques. Au coeur du Bassin du Congo, 2ème poumon de la planète, le Gabon possède une faune et une flore parmi les plus diversifiées au monde. On y trouve de nombreuses espèces animales : chimppanzés, gorilles, crocodiles, éléphants, hippopotames, baleines à bosse, dauphins ou encore tortues... De même, les végétaux présents au Gabon sont multiples. On dénombbre par exemple, plus de 400 espèces différentes d’arbres. L e développement de l’activité touristique a pour but principal de faire découvrir la richesse de la nature gabonaise tout en oeuvrant pour la protection de l’environnement et des écosystèmes. Les trois centres urbains principaux, Libreville, PortGentil, et Franceville, regroupent la plus large parttie de la clientèle européenne, avec une proportion de l’ordre de 70%, la part de la clientèle françaisse étant dominante. La clientèle de tourisme provient essentiellement d’Europe, demanddant des séjours de découverte, pêche, et surtout d’affaires… et des séjours longue durée (de 1 à 3 sem- Plage de Libreville maines) ; et des résidents. Il s’agit là de courts séjours (2 à 3 nuitées au maximum soit des week-ends prolongés en général) avec une répétitivité prononcée dans l’annnée. 15 sites offrent à travers tout le pays des activités de découvverte et des hébergements adapttés : Pointe Denis, Ekwata, Nyonnié, Port-Gentil; Oguendjo Tarpon club, Loango, Gavilo, Sette Cama, Gamba, Lambaréné, La Lopé, Koullamoutou, BaKoumba, Francevville et Evaro. 5 de ces sites sont ouverts à la pêche sportive : Sette Cama, Oguendjo Tarpon club, Loango, Gavilo, Gamba. Conscient de l’importance des enjeux économmiques et sociaux du tourisme et de l’éco-tourisme, le Gabon refuse TIJARIS 2013 TIJARIS131 131MAI-JUILLET MAY-JULY 2013 64 64 le tourisme de masse, destructeur de l’environnement et des cultures locales. Il souhaite au contraire développer un tourisme de quallité, dans le respect de la nature et des hommes, dans la préservation de la biodiversité et de la culture des populations locales, ce qui appporte une valeur ajoutée au dévelloppement économique et social du Gabon. D’importants projets sont actuellement développées au pays, notamment la privatisation, la rénovation ou la construction d’hôtels comme le complexe ultra moderne du groupe Laaico. Les 13 Parcs Nationaux permettent en outre de multiplier les produits touristiques et constituent une offfre plus diversifiée. Le tourisme gabonais, en pleine croissance, a donc besoin de développer ses structures, afin de moderniser et renforcer les infrastructures d’acccueil existantes en province et à proximité des parcs; dynamiser l’activité des agences de voyages pour un meilleur affrètement tourristique, et d’impliquer les opératteurs économiques en mesure de promouvoir l’activité touristique du pays notamment à l’étranger. r Sources : - www.apiex.ga - www.legabon.org - www.ambagabon.ma - www.gouvernement.ga TIJARIS 2013 TIJARIS131 131MAI-JUILLET MAY-JULY 2013 65 65 Instituts d’appui au Commerce et à l’Investissement L’APIEX.Votre partenaire privilégié pour l’investissement et les exportations au Gabon A u cœur d’un réseau intternational et avec un éventail de partenariats institutionnels avec l’ensemble des administrations gabonaisses ainsi qu’avec les acteurs du monde privé, l’APIEX, l’Agence de Promotion des Investissemments et des Exportations, offre un service public, gratuit et proffessionnel, d’amélioration du Climat des Affaires.

Other OIC Members’ accesion to the WTO is underway. With the accession of Tajikist- tan to the WTO in March 2013, the number of the OIC Member States whose accession to the WTO is undderway equals thirteen. These are: Afghanistan, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Comoros, Iraq, Iran, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Uzbbekistan and Yemen. The access conditions of the new applicant have become excessive and inconsistent with the economic Developmental level of the appliccant country. In fact, the candidates are subject to more restraining obligations than those to which the WTO Members are subject (called the WTO-plus obligations) and the special and diffferential treatment is not accorded to developing countries during their accession to the WTO. The transition periods accorded to the first WTO Members were not automatically offered to acceding countries under Article XII, whattever their economic development level may be. Some transition perriods were allowed in limited secttors and for short periods after the transmission of a comprehensive implementation schedule and in retturn of which the conformity to the WTO was guaranteed (promulgattion of the required in all sectors. It is therefore, important for the OIC countries legislation, training of the staff in charge of implementtation etc…) to defend the idea of according appropriate transition periods to acceding countries. Likkewise, market access should be adapted to the economic developmment of the candidate applying for accession. The adhesion to multtilateral agreements, such as the Agreement on government procurrement and the Agreement on Civil aviation should not be considered as a pre-requisite for accession to the WTO. It is also important to simplify and to speed up the accession procedures appliccable to the LDCs. r TIJARIS 131 MAY-JULY 2013 90 The OIC’s actions within the framework of the multilateral trade negotiations organized by the World Trade (WTO) The Islamic Centre for Development of Trade (ICDT) and the Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (COMCEC) were mandated by the Secretary General of the O.I.C to follow-up in collaboration with the the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) , the multilateral trade negotiations organised by the World Trade (WTO) Within this frammework, ICDT submmits on a regular basis, proggress reports on these negotiattions to the COMCEC’s annual meetings, to the Islamic Commmission for Economic, Cultural and Social Affairs of the O.I.C and to the annual Council of the Foreign Affairs Ministers (CFM).
