Tourism in Niger
There is relatively limited tourism in Niger. Most of the tourism industry is in the north, where the city of Agadez allows access to the desert. Other places that see tourism are the capital city, Niamey, areas around the Niger River, and reserves such as Kouré which is known for West African giraffes.
Tourism in Northern Niger started to develop in the 1970s. Tourism dropped during the Tuareg rebellion in the early 90s.
There has recently been travel warnings to the Niger because of terrorism as a result of the insurgency in the Sahel.
