Executive summary
Violence Leads to Uncertainty
In April 2006, armed rebels launched an assault on N’djamena attempting to overthrow the government of President Idriss Déby. The security situation quickly deteriorated in the second half of 2006.
The impact on tourism will be mixed. On the one hand, leisure tourists will desert the country, and it will not be easy to regain their confidence. On the other hand, business travel will not be much affected by the compromised security situation. Thus, facilities that target and serve corporate travellers will remain operational without appreciable losses.
Investment within travel and tourism is concentrated in hotel chains; the boom in the oil economy means an increase of at least 10% in business visitors to the capital, and thus hotel chains, particularly luxury ones, will increase their presence.
Total investment will remain low overall. For 2006, the WTTC (World Travel and Tourism Council) estimates a decline of 1% in public and private sector investment, while for the 10-year outlook to 2015, capital investment will grow at an average rate of only 1% per annum.
Hotels Benefit from Oil Business
International hotels targeting business travel will continue to profit from the economic boom and consequent influx of foreign company employees to N’djamena.
A profitable strategy will therefore be to attract and cultivate the newly arrived “oil business” clientele, providing special rates for selected oil and extractive industry companies.
A Lack of Supply in Aviation
Although air transportation is essential for the country, it is still small in scale. The value of the aviation industry is difficult to estimate, however the Ministry of Transport placed it at around US$28 million in 2005. The national carrier – Air Tchad – ceased activities in 1998 and since then the demand for air transportation within the country has largely exceeded supply.
The worsening of the security situation will affect international air transportation to N’djamena, as insurance rates for aircraft, passengers and crew will increase in proportion to the perceived risk of armed attack.
Travel Retail Hurt by Strict Regulation
Tour operators and travel agents in the country are those most affected by the Chadian authorities’ ban on travel outside the capital. They claim that this move will affect their volume sales, reducing them by at least 50%. As a result, the domestic necessities of transport and travel services will mostly be met via informal channels.
