Eritrea
Article Abstract:
Eritrea offers much tourist appeal in three main areas of historic visits, special activities such as deep sea fishing and the Red Sea beach resorts. Tours are likely to be the main tourist attractions in the short-term future, with the Massawa and Asmara urban regions offering much architectural appeal. Greater co-ordination is required between Eritrea and Ethiopia to encourage tourist arrivals, however. The Ministry of Tourism is responsible for tourism promotion, with both foreign and domestic investment encouraged.

Article Abstract:
The French tourism industry appears to have very good short-to medium-term prospects, with the country building on its existing reputation as a leading tourist destination. Inbound tourism has been boosted over recent years by events such as the Winter Olympics in 1992 and the opening of the Disneyland Paris theme park. International tourism receipts have more than doubled over the last decade, and are expected to have exceeded 137.5 billion French francs in 1994.
