Executive summary
Key Trends and Developments
As of 2007, Guinea is at a difficult juncture. The newly and controversially re-elected President Conte is suffering from various medical ailments, and this is threatening the country’s political and economic future. The World Bank and the IMF have cut off aid to Guinea since 2003, and conflicts in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ivory Coast have spilled over Guinea’s borders, triggering humanitarian emergencies and threatening its stability.
The travel and tourism industry is at its infancy and has been hampered by the overall absence of basic infrastructure throughout the country. However, Guinea’s primary source of income is its bauxite industry and while tourism is encouraged, it receives very little governmental support. Ecotourism is set to be a focus of the Ministry for Tourism as it will enable Guinea to offer a tourism product without having to invest heavily in tourism facilities that other types of tourism may require.
Travel Accommodation
Travel accommodation needs investment, both public and private. The French group ACCOR is present with two hotels but Guinea has so far failed to attract major international hotel brands and this has a clear effect on this sluggish sector. Although some hotels and restaurants were built during the review period, there have been no developments since 2004 and the lack of involvement by the government is certainly hindering progress in this market as private investment is not forthcoming.
Transportation
Transportation is characterised by an overall state of disrepair and a shortage of transportation infrastructure as a whole. A combination of damaged earth roads, heavy rainy seasons and lack of air services means that this sector represents a substantial challenge to the Guinean government. While there are some actions being taken on the road network, there is no immediate prospect of an increase in air services to the country.
Travel Retail
Travel retail is also very stagnant and would respond to a development in both the transportation and travel accommodation markets. As of 2007, most travel retailers offer ticketing services with the exception of a few which sell organised trips and excursions to the small number of tourists coming to the country.
