On the brink of collapse, Africa\u2019s tourism sector is incredibly important, accounting for almost 25 million jobs and $170 billion of annual revenue across the continent (which comprises 7.1% of the continent\u2019s GDP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The COVID-19 crisis has meant that businesses across the tourism sector\u2014from airlines to hotels and lodges to restaurants\u2014have been unable to function properly (or at all) for months, and thus are, at this point, in danger of going under, with some already having failed. Like a veritable house of cards, if one branch of the hospitality and tourism industry breaks, it may trigger a collapse across the industry, costing millions of jobs and livelihoods. Not only is this particularly bad for Africa\u2019s fledgling economies, but it also means that, when travel opens up again, travelers may find that their favorite lodge or restaurant has closed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Support the African Tourism Industry<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is thus in our collective interest, as citizens of the world, to support Africa\u2019s tourism sector insofar as possible. The aforementioned group appealing for assistance, which includes the UN World Tourism Organization and the African Airlines Association, &nbsp;requested $10 billion in funding, amongst other measures to help save the industry. What can we, as individual consumers, to do help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an African, support local: buy local products, support local businesses, and, if your region allows it, travel locally. If you are from elsewhere in the world, you can support African businesses in various ways; including donating to help out communities dependent on tourism (that are currently struggling severely) and booking now\u2014with some special discounted rates!\u2014for future travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Our Favorite Stays<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of our favorite stays in Africa, from luxury lodges to a Namibian \u2018shipwreck\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge \u2013 Tanzania<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"557\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/africaglobalnews.com\/website_b1ce9d46\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image-1.png?resize=557%2C358&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/africaglobalnews.com\/website_b1ce9d46\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image-1.png?w=557&amp;ssl=1 557w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/africaglobalnews.com\/website_b1ce9d46\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image-1.png?resize=300%2C193&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"mailto:https:\/\/www.serenahotels.com\/serenangorongoro\/en\/default.html\"><em>Ngorongoro Serena<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nestled on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a haven of tranquility.
