If you read this quickly you may well think that it is quite upbeat,what it does not mention is the problems in the Western world with financial scandals by the banks and the current economic recession in many countries,why does this affect Gambia ? again simple,people in these countries have less disposable income,result they will not be able to have holidays abroad,coming to Africa and Gambia as an example,so less tourists,result less money coming into Gambia, result more hardship for Gambians.
