Trends of tourist demand in Africa

Abstract

The name of the continent originates from the Latin word AFRICUS — otherwise “CLEAN CONTINENT”. Africa lies within the North and South of the globe and also spreads between the Eastern and Western side with the greater side lying at the Est of the globe. The equator passes through the middle part of the continent and this peculiar geographical position of Africa from the two sides of equator allows the continent some special physical features such as sunshine all year round, almost equal days and equal nights throughout the year round, and consistent symetric distribution of climate conditions and vegetational beits. With all these qualities, Africa can be described as the “Bright” Continent for tourism demand.
