West Africa is enjoying a tourism boom
"Mitigate your risks. Be aware, accept them, then plan to mitigate them. But definitely keep traveling. People love to travel, and the journey should continue."
In a Travel Weekly article on West Africa’s tourism boom, Global Guardian Vice President of Client Risk Management James Wiggins weighs in on the region’s security landscape. He notes that while parts of the Sahel face rising security threats, the coastal nations driving much of the tourism growth remain largely stable. Wiggins advises travelers and industry professionals to stay informed, mitigate risks, and work with reputable operators who understand both physical and digital security considerations.
