Background: THE SENEGALESE ISLAND OF GOREE OF DAKAR HAS BEEN HOST TO TRAVEL AGENTS AND NEWSMEN IN AN EFFORT TO BOOST ITS NATIVE CHARMS - AND INCREASE ITS TOURIST EARNINGS.

THE ISLAND HAS A NUMBER OF INTERESTING LINKS WITH THE PAST THROUGH ITS OLD FORT, FORMER SLAVE QUARTER AND PORT. IT ALSO HAS ITS MODERN BUILDINGS, HOTELS AND TAVERNS TO ATTRACT THE TOURIST, AS WELL AS SOME UNSPOILED FISHING AND BATHING BEACHES.

THE MOVE TO TURN GOREE INTO A HOLIDAY PLAYGROUND IS PART OF THE SENEGALESE GOVERNMENT'S AIM TO ENCOURAGE TOURISM ON A BROADER BASIS AMONG AFRICAN COUNTRIES. SENEGAL IS A MEMBER OF THE INTER-STATES AFRICAN ORGANISATION FOR TOURISM.
