Africa Tourist Information

National Tourist Information Offices in Africa

Tourist Information offices in Africa are official government agencies that provide basic information regarding their country's sights, public holidays, hotels and more. Sometimes the information is very useful and in depth, and sometimes you'll find a very basic web site that rarely functions. It often depends on the individual country's resources, and whether tourism is an important part of the economy. Understand that the information given by the tourist office is government sanctioned. The job of the tourist information office is to sell the country to potential tourists. So enjoy the information given, but also check other travel resources, like this site, for a balanced viewpoint. Please email me if a link does not work anymore.
