Tourisme moribond depuis des décennies ; jadis la Casamance, jardin potager du pays recevait bcp de touristes. Il faut dire que nos hôtels sont dégueulasses, trop chers, mal équipés, ajoutez le manque de sécurité, l'arnaque; les touristes étrangers ne sont pas des vaches à lait comme certains le pensent.
