FERNANDEZ RUIZ, Jorge. Fostering Growth through Tourism in Sub-Saharan Africa. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2015, vol.50, n.1, pp.77-115. ISSN 2448-654X.
In recent years, the rate of growth of tourism in Sub-Saharan Africa has continued apace at almost twice the rate of the rest of the globe. In this paper we examine some economic consequences of this growth focusing our attention on two Sub-Saharan countries with important tourist sectors: Cape Verde and Gambia. We examine the factors driving the growth of tourism in these countries and those affecting whether or not this increase can help promote broader economic development and increase the overall welfare of the citizens of these two countries.
