Looks like we need some airline (bottoms on seats) figures! I was there Jan until 4th April this year and would like to see what they have to say about those three months. Still a very long way to go to match the figures pre 94 or 97 taking into account the vast amount of hotel's that have been built over recent years & the number of miles they now cover! Four white bodies were the most at any one time I ever saw in Serrekunda market.
True figures/stasticics were never the forte' of The Gambia were they?
Personally, I do not believe them.

I know that these are the official figures so maybe hard to dispute in any way but I was in Gambia in January this year and everywhere I went ,from the stip during the day and night to Serrekunda, to the rural areas, I was not aware of an over abundance of tourists and those that I did notice were predominantly older rather than younger. Maybe more people are staying in their hotels. I walked throught the Senegambia hotel complex on several occasions and there was no ROOM to put your towel,it was so jammed! I was only glad not to be there. Anyone else who has been this year got any comments. |
