TOP REASONS TO VISIT GAMBIA

The top reasons to visit Gambia may vary from one person to another but truly, there are certain common reasons that stand out. Gambia is the smallest country in Africa in terms of geographic coverage. This country is separated by its namesake river yet surrounded by the Senegalese lands. Curiously, it has known peace for a long time after the British declared the humble nation independent from their regime. But that peace was broken during the 1996 civil war. Nowadays though, Gambia is returning to its former harmonious state and is also geared for improvement with today’s global standards in technology. This country has three thriving economies. Farming, fishing and tourism comprised its general source of revenue and of the three major industries it is tourism that this country is investing with great deal of effort.
