Senegal is the closest seaside resort area to North America, it has a sun that shines almost all year round; its great and historic museums, its natural sites of great beauty, its natural parks and the reserves; its large rich fauna and flora, the warm welcome of its population resulting in the constant increase in the number of tourists each year interested with the discovery of the internal richness of the country, the encounter with the inhabitants, customs and habits of the local population and a real contact with its diverse cultures. Although occupied and influenced by the French, Senegal has its own brand of exotic music, food and customs that give it the right dash of spice. Goreé Island, rich in history, is probably the area's favorite and most famous tourist attraction. One of the most frequently visited sites is the Maison des Esclaves (Slave House), a poignant reminder of Goreé's role as the center of West African slave trade. Built by the Dutch in 1776, the slave house has been preserved in its original state. Other points of interest include the Church, the picturesque ruins of Fort Nassau, Saint Michel (the Castle) and the Historical Museum in the old Fort Estrees. Gambia is a popular European vacation destination. It has a population of over 1.5 million people belonging to eight ethnic groups as well as fairly large communities from neighboring West African countries. The people live harmoniously in communities, freely exercising their religious and cultural traditions. Gambians are recognized all over the world for their spontaneous warm smile, their peace-loving nature and their hospitality. |
