Africa’s people are often cited as being one of
the best things about the continent. A
correspondents for How we made it in Africa
says that at least 80% of Western experts and
local business leaders interviewed say that the
best thing about the African country in which
they operate is the people, along with the
continent’s breathtaking natural geographical
beauty.
Morocco has been ranked as the African country
whose population has the best attitude towards
foreign tourists. The World Economic Forum’s
Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2013
ranked 140 countries according to the
attractiveness and competitiveness of their travel
and tourism industries, and this year 35 African
countries were included in the report. One of the
indicators used to determine these rankings
looked at how welcome tourists feel in each
country. Under the category ‘Attitude of
population toward foreign visitors’, 140 nations
across the world were rated according to how
friendly local people are towards tourists. Three
African countries made the top 10 list. In
addition, the majority of the African countries
made the top half of the global rankings in this
category.
As mentioned above, Morocco is the country in
Africa that is considered to be the friendliest to
its tourists, followed by Senegal and then Burkina
Faso. Below is a list of the African countries that
made the top 50 in the global rankings.
