Key Findings
- The issue reports that ISPAN, the Ministry of Tourism and MUPANAH prepared a tourism-development plan for the Citadelle Henry.
- The plan is framed by cultural-tourism principles and by the need to organize visits after restoration works that made the monument watertight.
- ISPAN planned guided visits lasting one to two hours for groups of twenty visitors, organized around fortification, defense systems and late eighteenth-century artillery.
- The proposed circuit includes museums, a reception desk, souvenir shop, snack bar, public toilets, terraces and interpretive spaces while separating visitor uses from technical and administrative functions.
- The plan is presented as an initial phase because some areas were still under restoration, structural support or considered fragile or dangerous.
- The issue also reproduces UNESCO/ICOMOS concerns that upgrading national road No 3 through the park could threaten the World Heritage site through landscape transformation, uncontrolled urbanization, deforestation and pollution.
