Abstract

The WTO region of Africa recorded an estimated 27.7 million international tourist arrivals in 2001, corresponding to an increase of 2.7% over 2000. International tourism receipts amounted to US$11.7 billion, or 9% over 2000. In this article regional results are analysed over time, as well as by purpose of visit, means of transport and region of origin. Data on international arrivals and receipts for international tourism are reviewed for the five African subregions and their individual countries.
