Keys to Success in Quality Product Development for Tourism in Africa Tourism Benefits and the Potential in Africa Tourism is a powerful vehicle for economic growth and job creation all over the world. Tourism energizes economies and fuels the economic transformation of countries in Africa. Tourism can act as a catalyst for the development of small businesses in related production and service sectors. Its benefits range from livelihoods improvement to export diversification. For African countries the potential of tourism has not been fully recognized as a vital source of economic and development power. The potential for tourism growth in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) is significant. The region has abundant assets, with expansive beaches, plentiful wildlife, extensive natural and cultural attractions, and adventure opportunities. Considerable opportunities for expansion exist in safari, beach, business, and diaspora tourism, including in regions of destination countries that have not yet benefited from tourism. Furthermore, SSA has great potential to expand products that are more recently in greater demand, such as nature/adventure tourism, cultural heritage tourism, and travel for wellness, health and retirement purposes.
