The big island is the million tourists for the year 2020 by Hôtel★★★ Restaurant gourmand Coco Lodge Majunga.
A glimmer of hope anime the tourist sector for the international tourism fair which took place at the Carlton hotel recently.
Recall that in 2014, Madagascar welcomed 217.000 visitors.
Tourism is one of the most important economic activities for Madagascar.
It is one of the first sources of currencies of the countries.
Its different climatic zones and its variety of landscapes provide the country of contrasts a huge tourism potential : high mountains to the fertile plains planted to rice terraces, large dry savanna to tropical forests, of 5.000 km of coastline protected in large part of reefs in the many tropical islands with white sandy beaches, spectacular limestone landscape with numerous towers of karst in various caves and underground rivers, ….
For this year 2015, Whereas amounted to 250.000 visitors.
En 2020, the big island expects to receive one million tourists.
An ambitious project that requires large accompanying measures.
The president of the Board of Directors of the ONTM, Mr Eric Koller, to say : "One million tourists in. 2020, It is quite difficult as it will take now start putting in place the necessary infrastructure to host them. Taking account all the lodges or the bedroom, today, We are missing the half. I will say, try to find the 400.000 from 2008 ».
Mr Koller has placed emphasis on the fact that in 2008, the Malagasy air company had almost the same number of devices that today ' hui, and however managed to carry 400.000 holidaymakers. 75 % hotels were full during this prosperous period. Reached again the 400.000 tourists would already be a first victory for Madagascar.
The big island has several much cultural wealth that natural or historical.
Access to the Malagasy airspace was one of the barriers that needed lift for the development of tourism. Today, like the open sky is effective, the tourism sector can expect an increase of visitors in Madagascar. The monopoly of the Malagasy air network is no longer reserved to the company Air Madagascar. Foreign companies have already expressed their interest for the country. In addition to the airline South African Air Link or Turkish Airlines, the new malgache Madagasikara Airways has its place in Malagasy airspace. Fortunately, airlines are already established in Madagascar as Air Mauritius, Kenya Airways or Air France. This opening of the Malagasy sky is a favourable solution, or even necessary for the tourism sector of Madagascar.
A reboosting of tourism of la Grande-île is therefore expected.
