Tourism

A tourism development plan in Guinea Bissau was formulated in 2003 in collaboration with the Tourism Directorate, but has not yet been implemented.

A tourism sector does exist in Guinea-Bissau although the country is not as reliant as other SIDS on tourism as a source of foreign exchange earnings. Current ecological threats such as coastal erosion and drought are a threat to the tourism sector, but also create a potential opportunity for sustainable tourism or “eco-tourism” to develop.
