    The most visited in Africa is Egypt, and the same visitors always return several times, if they can. I know people who have visited it at least three or four times. There are seven times. In my case nine times

    It would be good for me to go on a tour of exotic Africa and visit a country that arouses great interest in me; it's Somaliland. as a country not recognized by the rest and survives in a haven of peace and prosperity.

    Africa has the poorest countries in the world, (Democratic Republic of the Congo: it is in first place; Burundi, Eritrea, Liberia, Niger, Afghanistan). … My question is: what tourism option is there in these countries and if I wanted to invest in one of them, what would be the recommendations to do it or not, how would I do it taking into account the cultural, racial, religious and public order. Thanks
