Lagos Emerges As Africa's 4th Top International Business Destination by internetpo(m): 6:43am On Jul 15, 2014 |
Mastercard international records for 2014 lists 5 top African destinations with Lagos been the 4th. A 5% increase from 2013. Wetin Oyibo dey find for our lagos. sef? ------ Africa’s top destination for international travellers is South Africa’s Johannesburg, with an estimated 4.25m visitors for 2014, according to this year’s MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index released this week. The Index, now in its fourth year, provides a ranking of 132 most travelled to destinations from around the world. The cities are ranked according to the number of international passengers (not residents of the country), that disembark and leave the airport. In Africa, Johannesburg is followed by Cape Town (South Africa), Cairo (Egypt), Lagos (Nigeria) and Casablanca (Morocco). Africa's top 5 destination cities by international overnight visitors (2014) Rank City Country Estimated visitors (millions) 2014 estimated visitor spend 2013 2014 Change from 2013-2014 (%) 1 Johannesburg South Africa 4.1 4.25 4.90% US$3.2bn 2 Cape Town South Africa 1.5 1.6 5.50% US$2.3bn 3 Cairo Egypt 1.5 1.35 -10.00% US$0.8bn 4 Lagos Nigeria 1.3 1.33 5.80% US$0.7bn 5 Casablanca Morocco 0.9 0.99 7.40% US$0.7bn Cairo is the only city in Africa’s top five to experience negative growth in both international visitors and their estimated spending. Cairo slipped to 1.35m visitors, from 1.5m in 2013 and 2.2m in 2010. Estimated visitor spending for 2014 decreased by 7.6% from the previous year. MasterCard owes this to political unrest in Egypt. Lagos’s 1.33m estimated visitors for 2014 is a 5.8% increase from 2013, but still lower than its 2010 spike of 1.5m. www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/africas-top-five-most-travelled-to-cities/41315/ ------- we end up complaining abt a lot about our environments but these guys are seeing opportunities. I beleive as young africans we have more opportunities here in Nigeria with the many problems we have than other developed countries. Do you know how much you can make if you provide solutions to any of these: Refuse recycling or electricity? |
