Madagascar Tourism : Rehabilitation of road infrastructure towards sustainable development

The Executive Director of the Madagascar Tourism Confederation (Ctm), Heritage of RATOVOMALALA, spoke about the current tourist situation in Madagascar. According to him, tourism recovery is on the right track, notably thanks to the multiplication of international flight frequencies and the joint efforts of public and private actors in 2023.

Rehabilitation process on access roads to tourist areas

According to the Director of the Madagascar Tourism Confederation CTM, it is essential and even urgent to carry out the rehabilitation of national roads and access routes to tourist areas. This is to consolidate the efforts of stakeholders, attract more tourists and improve the attractiveness of the country.

« Les infrastructures routières sont un axe majeur du développement touristique, il est impératif de procéder rapidement à la réparation des routes pour espérer atteindre les objectifs de l’état en matière d’arrivées touristiques cette année 2024 (400 000 tourists) et permettre un développement durable du secteur ».

Il faut voir que le tourisme est un secteur transversal, pilier fondamental du développement socio-économique du pays, pourvoyeur d’emplois et de devises, qui fait vivre plus de 1 500 000 personnes dans la chaîne de valeur.

Un frein pour le développement touristique

En 2023, le nombre d’arrivées internationales est encourageant (259 850 tourists), la reprise est en marche, but si on veut réellement attirer plus de voyageurs à Madagascar, great efforts must be made to improve the tourist framework on the big island”.

According to the Director of the CTM, except the lack of air connections on the domestic network, the poor state of national roads is a brake which seriously affects the development of tourism. It penalizes the activities of professionals who are barely recovering from the health crisis. “Tourists come to Madagascar to discover the wonderful landscapes offered by the big island, unfortunately the current deplorable state of national roads spoils their travel experience and gives a bad image of the destination”. At the present time, the destination Madagascar is among the 23 best places to travel in 2024.
