| description |
The Union of Comoros has struggled
through political unrest for over thirty years. As a result,
its tourism sector is still in the exploration phase of its
life cycle. There have been initiatives by both the public
and private sectors in the tourism industry, but to date, a
lack of commitment from both sectors and external
circumstances have prevented further growth. Comoros needs a
tourism development plan that will provide a framework for
all tourism stakeholders to the next phase of development.
Strong institutional leadership from both the public and
private sectors is one of the most important requirements to
be addressed in order to support tourism in Comoros. The
objective of this review is to conduct an analysis of the
tourism sector performance and policies in the Union of
Comoros. It presents policy options and recommendations at a
country and sub-regional level. This review has been
constructed as part of a larger Indian ocean regional
tourism integration study including similar reports on the
tourism sectors of Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar.
Combined recommendations provide a basis for practical
approaches towards improved tourism competitiveness through
leveraging regional integration opportunities across these
economies. This report is structured as follows: section one
gives introduction to the Comoros study; section two gives
overview of the Union of Comoros tourism sector; section
three presents key issues; section four gives
recommendations; and section five gives conclusion. |
