Benin aims to boost its tourism through its 'history'

Benin is leveraging its painful past to promote tourism, particularly through the Door of No Return in Ouidah, an emblematic site of the transatlantic slave trade. Arsène Ahounou, a resident of Cotonou, emphasizes the importance of showcasing this rich and largely unknown history. Sculptures depicting chained slaves remind visitors of the suffering endured, attracting tourists like Onyinye Anumba from Nigeria.
