Tourism in Senegal is a vital part of this West African nation's economy.
From a relatively small industry at the introduction of the first Club Med resort in the 1970s, Tourism has grown to be an important part of the Senegales economy. Since the 1990s, Senegal has made an effort to reach beyond visitors from the former colonial power France, in part motivated by the example of neighbouring Gambia which draws a relatively larger tourist share from Northern Europe and the Americas to its Banjul coastal resorts.
In 2008, Senegal's foreign tourist visitors had reached one million, attracted to luxury beach resorts, natural and historic sites. The return rate for visitors stood at around 30% in 2008.
Future projections and bookings announced in 2009 raised fears that the global economic downturn would deal a blow to 2009 and 2010 tourist visits, with a booking rate down from 30% the year before to 5%.
U.S. tourists - often African-Americans - are increasing in numbers, drawn in particular by the historic slave trading post of Goree Island.

Senegal (i/ˌsɛnᵻˈɡɔːl, -ˈɡɑːl/;French: le Sénégal), officially the Republic of Senegal (French: République du Sénégal [ʁepyblik dy seneɡal]), is a country in West Africa. Senegal's economical and political capital is Dakar. It is the westernmost country in the mainland of the Old World, or Eurafrasia, and owes its name to the Sénégal River, which borders it to the east and north. The name "Senegal" comes from the Wolof "Sunuu Gaal," which means "Our Boat." Senegal covers a land area of almost 197,000 square kilometres (76,000 sq mi) and has an estimated population of about 13 million. The climate is Sahelian, but there is a rainy season.
The territory of modern Senegal has been inhabited by various ethnic groups since the prehistoric era. Organized kingdoms emerged around the seventh century, and parts of the country were ruled by prominent regional empires such as the Wolof. The present state of Senegal has its roots in European colonialism, which began during the mid-15th century, when various European powers began competing for trade in the area. The establishment of coastal trading posts gradually gave way to control of the mainland, culminating in French rule of the area by the 19th century, albeit amid much local resistance. Senegal peacefully attained independence from France in 1960, and has since been among the more politically stable countries in Africa.

Senegal has scrapped visa requirements for foreign visitors and will cut taxes on air fares by half as it seeks to revive a tourism sector crippled by high costs and a regional Ebola outbreak. Desire Kanon looks at opportunities in the industry and investors' reactions following the government announcement.
The Senegalese government says the Ebola outbreak in neighbouring countries has tarnished its image as a safe holiday destination, even though the country has not had a single reported case of the viral infection. Last year 400,000 people visited the country. That is considered a low number for a nation that relies on tourism as its main source of revenue. Al Jazeera's Nicolas Haque reports from Saly, Senegal.
Khalil GUEYE helmed and directed for the Senegalese Ministry of Tourism, this piece presenting Senegal. A very sophisticated country in West Africa rooted in tradition and open to the modern world.
Sun, beach and swimming in the turquoise water of Saly, a seaside resort near Dakar, is the perfect vacation for many holiday makers, yet there are fewer tourists today due to the past jihadist attacks in West Africa. Located 80 km southeast of the capital, Dakar, Saly is one of the largest resorts in Senegal and usually attracts many tourists from Europeans, majority being French. "There are fewer people this year," says Agnes Centolle in the street on the arm of her husband, Frank.
