From the perspective of the tourism industry in Africa can be divided into two groups: the countries of North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. North African countries (Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, the Canary Islands) - the place is generally inexpensive and mass tourism, they are widely known to tourists from Russia and Ukraine. At the same time as the sub-Saharan Africa tour of the former CIS countries, virtually nothing is known.
The tourist industry sub-Saharan Africa - the most intensively growing sector of the global economy. If the volume of international tourism in the world in 2005 grew only by 5.5%, in the case of Africa this figure exceeds 10%, and in particular in Kenya is more than 26% in Mozambique - 37% of South Africa - 11% of Seychelles - 7%.
These achievements - the absolute world record made by any continent in the last ten years. One of the main reasons for this situation - an extremely high profitability of African destinations for Western travel companies. Meanwhile, only a maximum of ten of thousands of travel agencies in Moscow believed to African destinations to its priority. The same situation is observed in Kiev and other cities.
The main feature of tourism in Africa is the continent that the possibility is not entirely known, not only tourists, but travel company. There are stereotypes that Africa - this is something negative in terms of health and infrastructure, which is not quite true. In Africa, many first-class hotels, including the category VIP, opportunities for active and extreme relaxation.
Today, African-tourism is developing rapidly. Rapidly growing demand for Kenya, Tanzania, where there including beach holidays. After the animated film "Madagascar", rising demand for the island.
