Special
Supplement in
ATA World Congress Edition
Cameroon
Airlines, a company that knows how to please customers ...
and shows it!
by Jerry W. Bird
 We're
counting the days until our next journey to Douala, Cameroon
on West Central Africa's Atlantic Coast for the ATA
International Congress in May 2004. It's an opportunity to
see even more of the fascinating country via Cameroon
Airlines. We flew with the nation's friendly airline in
2000, when we spent an exciting month learning about the
country and gathering stories for the 2004 Congress edition
of Africa Travel Magazine. En route, we flew with Cameroon
Airlines from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport to Yaounde,
Cameroon's Capital. After the ATA Ecotourism and Investment
Symposium, we enjoyed a fabulous "fam trip" from Yaounde to
the northern province near Wasa National Park - an
experience that brings wonderful memories. What an
impressive introduction to the diverse culture of this
rapidly emerging country. Our tour of Cameroon was arranged
through the offices of Tourism Minister Hon. Pierre
Helé and his team. The program was so extensive, it
will require continuing installments . Our travels in
Cameroon will eventually be compiled in a book that will
help future travelers enjoy this fascinating country to the
fullest. More chapters will be added when Muguette Goufrani,
photographer Robert Eilets and I hope to return to Cameroon
and continue where we left off. It's truly Africa in One
Country!

Editor's Comment:
“We thank tour supervisors Ebenezer Elimbi, Jean Npombo
and Boniface Piga. They were great companions throughout my
30 days in the country. It was a month we will treasure
forever, and even as time passes, the images and voices of
Cameroon have not faded one iota - they've become even more
vivid in the theater of my mind. What I truly love about the
many Cameroonians whom I've come to know - is that to a
person, they "Accentuate the Positive."
