South Sudan
It's official, Welcome
to the newest 54th African nation.
Now a new country is
rising in Africa. We congratulate South Sudan on its
independence and wish its people a prosperous
future.
Southern Sudan is a
beautiful tourist destination with a vast diversity
of fauna and flora, scenic beauty, diverse culture,
historical sites and variable climate. The country
has great natural endowments quite attractive to
behold.
The landscape ranges
from semi-desert to grasslands, swamps, and
rainforest, and there are rivers (including the
famous Nile) with plenty of potential for ecotourism
and adventure travel. There are a number of national
parks and refuges which boast pretty much the entire
panoply of African Fauna, from wild dogs and
chimpanzees up to elephants and lions. the potential
jewel in the crown is Boma National Park, which
harbours an estimated 800.000 animals, as well as
the world's second largest wildlife migration, a
mighty, surging river of antelope There's also the
beginnings of cultural and community tourism.
getting to know the country's various ethnic groups,
such as the Dinka Azande, and Avungara.
The Nile and the other
Rivers represent a major attraction and can provide
a venue for other tourist activities such as cruise
launching, sport fishing, white water, rafting,
birds watching. It has several water falls and
rapids, the most notable one being the Fulla Falls
at Nimule National Park.
The capital of Juba is
a minimum two hours' drive from the wildlife areas,
The Ministry of
Wildlife Conservation & Tourism has launched a
tourist map and guide which was used during
independence day celebrations. The country expects
to get a lot of potential visitors and investors in
the tourism sector and that why the Ministry of
Wildlife conservation is looking for ways of
branding and marketing the country's potential to
target markets.
We will always keep a
eye in this beautiful country to promote the
existing attractions, organize package tours and
improve security with south sudanese tour operators
through ATA, our two magazines, posters and our two
websites with the Ministry of Wildlife conservation
and Tourism.
In order to overcome
the distribution obstacle involved in tourism
marketing, many Tourism Companies join forces in
marketing efforts. A travel agent may join forces
with Hotels, Airlines and Tour operator companies.
We encourage all of
us, Airlines, Tour operators and Travel agents to
start doing promotion
for the world's newest
country and to discover the "immensity and
magnitude" of the wildlife population.
Congratulations South Sudan |
