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).

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.

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?
