CMR 25th in Africa, 155th in world tourism destination

According to Bloom Consulting Brand Ranking, an annual rating of the best tourism destinations done by Bloom Consulting, in partnership with The Economist and Forbes magazines, and CNN, Cameroon is 2015’s 25th tourism destination in Africa and 155th in the world.

Compared to 2014, Cameroon has moved up three places, which has been described as one of the “best improvements” along with Zimbabwe (+5), Sudan (+6), Seychelles (+3) and Cote d’Ivoire (+3).

Cameroon’s improved ranking comes at a time when tourism in Extreme-North is in crisis due to insecurity caused by the Nigerian terrorist Boko Haram.

The 2015 Bloom Consulting Brand Ranking reaffirms the country’s nickname as “Miniature Africa” because of the diversity of its tourist attractions which has encouraged the government to officially aim to welcome 2 million tourists in 2015.
