Information:
The bendula at the Senegambia Craft Market was founded in
1982 and has 64 appointed craft stalls a well as others
nearby. The items are sourced in The Gambia and made locally.
There are a wide range of art and craft for sale such as
tie dye bags, hats, wooden carved masks, gourds, silver
jewellery, numerous variations of drums, leather wallets
and sandals and chains.
The
Association
was founded to stand for the economic interests of its members
and to be act as an agent between the members and other
organisations. It also examines avenues for exporting its
members products during the low season.
One of the codes of conduct is that members should not hassle
tourists and anyone found doing so could be suspended for
2 weeks. Another code says that Bumsters are not allowed
in the craft market with tourists - they should wait outside.
