Abstract

Approaching Tourism in Africa is something that recalls the great complexity, because the ethnic, political, religious and geo-graphic di-versity make the differences clear, although the social problems are a worrying similarity and by which you- laughter can face it. Dealing with Tourism in Libya is completely different from the analysis to be made of Kenya, for example.
