“From breathtaking landscapes to vibrant culture, this destination is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. Immerse yourself in the rich traditions, discover unique wildlife, and experience the warm hospitality that Eswatini offers,” reads part of the article.

It continues to state that, Eswatini is a small country that few bother to visit. “It is located just next to South Africa, and its people are extremely welcoming to foreigners.
It is arguably one of the forgotten gems of Africa and definitely worth seeing when looking for less touristy places in Africa to visit,” reads the article.

“This is not something small but a mileage that will go a long to attract the two million tourists that the country has set to achieve.

These tourists will then help us generate E2 billion in revenue through their spending, a target that government has set for the tourism sector. I want to encourage all those who directly interact with these tourists when they come to ensure that they receive the best care and love while they are in Eswatini.

Let them feel welcome and enjoy the Royal experience that Eswatini prides itself about. Please take care of all the tourists who will set foot at our shores during this period,” he said.
