Madagascar: Tourism rebounds after a year of turmoil

Tourism in Madagascar has increased by 5% between January and July 2026, with nearly 150,000 international visitors, according to the Malagasy Ministry of Tourism and Crafts. This rebound follows a challenging year marked by protests and a political crisis. Malagasy authorities plan to enhance the promotion of the destination, particularly with a new focus on 'slow tourism' to encourage longer stays.
