Tourism, Madagascar l’île des contrastes.
Ses différentes zones climatiques et sa variété de paysages procurent à ce pays de contrastes un énorme potentiel touristique : 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, ….
A cela s’ajoute une biodiversité hors du commun avec un taux d’endémisme très élevé :
near 80% for the flora (black and white orchids, Palm trees, Ravinala, baobabs, Nepenthes, medicinal plants, …) and an even higher rate for wildlife. To cite just a few examples :
• More than 90% of the lemur species spread naturally to Madagascar ;
• A 250 species of birds found in the island, 106 are endemic ;
• 98% reptiles and amphibians of the country - including chameleons, geckos, crocodiles, turtles and snakes - located only in Madagascar ;
• 92% freshwater fish are also endemic while coral reefs along the coast are home to a stunning marine life.
Another attraction of the island Continent is its cultural diversity with its 18 tribes and almost as many cultures.
Life styles, architectures and specific traditions derive their source of the distant origin of the Malagasy people from the Indonesia, of the India, Africa, Saudi, …. La grande variété des produits et techniques artisanaux témoigne également de cette diversité culturelle.
The exceptional tourist capital of Madagascar allowed him to integrate the Islands vanilla (Maurice, Meeting, Seychelles, Madagascar) to conquer a share of the new market tourism based on the strengths and complementarity of each island. The remarkable evolution of the number of tourists on the 3 last years, including the arrival of cruise lines, already reflect the dynamism of tourism sector in Madagascar.
This significant demand growth needs to be supported by an adequate supply including in terms of childcare facilities.
