The Morning Call
Americans are travelling to Africa for various reasons.
Many trail the history of slavery and to reconnect with their roots, this is mostly done by African Americans who are curious about their African identity.
Some Americans have come to discover the natural beauty of the continent and therefore visit for the sake of natural tourism or as they call it “Ecotourism”.
On the other hand Africans travel to America largely for economic reasons; in search of “greener pastures”.
Other Africans head to America to further their education or for better education.
On this week’s segment of Travel, our viewers gave their perceptions on the influence of the United States on travel and tourism in Africa and vice-versa.
