Libreville (AFP) – Gabon, a small central African nation which touts itself as the “Last Eden”, attracts around 350,000 foreign visitors a year. It wants to double that figure, a likely priority for the winner of Saturday’s presidential election. Key to that effort could be the charms of Pointe-Denis, a peninsula where wealthy Gabonese and expats from Libreville head to escape the city for a few days. Some pockets of the destination equally aim to develop community tourism, aimed at “regular Gabonese people”, says guide Gerard Adande Avili.
