Surprisingly, of the 200,000 visitors the island per year, only about 60,000 come expressly for tourism, the rest traveling for other reasons but which could include some tourism activity. Madagascar has the potential to welcome many more tourists if the sector's growth is well planned in a broad, multi-sectoral way - focusing on economic aspects, infrastructure and environmental and social concerns, particularly for community participation. This report sets outs a program for equitable development of the sector and evaluates the opportunities for growth and the barriers that currently block progress. The report features a survey of hotels and other tourism establishments. The report recommends a comprehensive master planning program and action program.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOMMODATIONACCOMMODATION UNITSADVENTURE TRAVELAIR TRAVELAIRLINESBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYBIOSPHERE RESERVEBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCITIESCOASTAL ZONECOMMUNITY TOURISMCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION INTERNATIONALCRUISECRUISE DESTINATIONSCRUISE LINESCRUISE TOURISMCULTURAL RESOURCESDEFORESTATIONDESTINATIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECOTOURISMENVIRONMENT TOURISMENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONFISHINGFOREIGN VISITORSGROWTH OF TOURISMHOTEL INDUSTRYHOTEL MANAGERSHOTEL OPERATORSHOTELSIMPACT OF TOURISMIMPACTS OF TOURISMINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINTERNATIONAL HOTELINTERNATIONAL TOUR OPERATORSINTERNATIONAL TOURISMLAND ACQUISITIONLOCAL TOUR OPERATORSMASTER PLANNINGNATIONAL PARKNATIONAL PARKSNATURAL ASSETSNATURAL BEAUTYNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNATURE TOURISMNEGATIVE SOCIAL IMPACTSNUMBER OF TOURISTSNUMBERS OF TOURISTSPASSENGERSPOOR TOURISMPRESERVATIONPRIVATE RESERVESPROTECTED AREASREGIONAL TOURISMRESPONSIBLE TOURISMSAFARISSCUBA DIVINGSERVICE SECTORSSERVICESSOCIAL INCLUSIONSUSTAINABILITYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTOUR OPERATORSTOURISMTOURISM ASSETSTOURISM COUNCILTOURISM DEVELOPMENTTOURISM INDUSTRYTOURISM INITIATIVESTOURISM MANAGEMENTTOURISM MARKETTOURISM OPERATIONSTOURISM ORGANIZATIONTOURISM POLICYTOURISM POTENTIALTOURISM PRODUCTTOURISM SATELLITE ACCOUNTTOURISM SECTORTOURISTTOURIST AREASTOURIST ARRIVALSTOURIST DESTINATIONSTOURIST NUMBERSTOURIST SERVICESTOURISTSTOURSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORT SECTORTRAVEL INDUSTRYWORLD TOURISMWORLD TOURISM ORGANISATIONWORLD TOURISM ORGANIZATION TOURISM DEVELOPMENTBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONCULTURAL ASPECTS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC ASPECTSINFRASTRUCTUREENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTSHOTEL INDUSTRYTOURISM MANAGEMENTEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONFOREIGN EXCHANGETAXATIONGOVERNMENT POLICIESCULTUREPOVERTYPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTROAD NETWORKSEDUCATIONTRAINING ACTIVITYCLIMATEWorld Bank10.1596/14672
