Tourism in Madagascar – Crushed by Covid
Unfortunately, Madagascar is no exception, the tourism industry is devastated and unlike other African countries with very low Covid infection rates, there is no sign of airports reopening here.
Travel companies, guides, drivers, accommodations, restaurants, and national parks are primarily affected, but the devastating effects of the crisis are much more dramatic in remote regions.
This has been accelerated by the introduction of lockdowns, travel restrictions, and the suspension of international flights. Tour guides and other people in the industry lost their jobs. Fortunately, we have launched a crowdfunding campaign that can keep our employees afloat and thanks to the generosity of donors, it is also intended as a fund for acute emergencies.
At Christmas, the roof of a family of a young woman who works with us burned down and we were able to have it repaired and also provide for blankets and clothing that were burned.

This campaign remains open and although the goal has been reached, every euro is needed.
